May be I misunderstand everything...
I have a local network which uses the Exim box as the SMTP server, then
Exim relay every message to the ISP smarthost. The smarthost require AUTH
LOGIN. In this case Exim is acting as an SMTP client and I think it can do
that, from the Exim manual:
34.2 Using plaintext in a client
The plaintext authenticator has just one client option:
client_send
Type: string
Default: unset
The string is a colon-separated list of authentication data strings.
Each string is independently expanded before being sent to the server.
The first string is sent with the AUTH command; any more strings are sent
in response to prompts from the server.
