FAQ Q0806 has some sample configs of a pop-before-auth setup which may or
may not apply.

You don't say which version of Exim you're running, but recent releases
use host_accept_relay which accepts a host list as an argument.

http://www.us.exim.org/exim-html-3.10/doc/html/spec_toc.html#TOC167

lists what a host list can be.

If you've got a db of individual IP addresses with no netmask, then you'd
probably want to do something like:

host_accept_relay = net-dbm;/path/to/pophosts.db
