You do not need to specify every authentication method if you want to
use Exim only as a client. Just choose the one that your relay server
supports. It doesn't hurt, though. :-)

Specify "authenticate_hosts = mail.example.com" in the smtp transport
section. The Exim 4 equivalent option is named hosts_require_auth, if
you ever want to upgrade.
