There is no variable called $local_domain. I take it you mean either
$local_part or $domain.

Think about it. When are authenticators run?

Answer 1 - on an Exim server: when a client connects and wants to
authenticate, _before_ sending a message. So what value would you expect
to be in $local_part or $domain?

Answer 2 - on an Exim client: when connecting to a remote host do do an
SMTP delivery, possibly with more than one recipient address. In this
case, it's the same as any other delivery - if all addresses are in the
same domain, $domain is set, and if there is only one address,
$local_part is set. Otherwise they are not set.
