That's true, but it is assumed at end of file.

This is all in the documentation.
1. auth_hosts is a main option which is relevent when Exim is a server.
2. authenticate_hosts is an option of the smtp transport, which is
relevant when Exim is a client.
So you need to set whichever one (or both) that is relevant to what you
are doing with Exim.
However, I can see that this is confusing because of the different
names. I should probably make them the same in Exim 4, and "auth_hosts"
seems like the better choice.
