I think there's a misunderstanding here. The auth_hosts option should
apply whether or not a TLS connection is in use.
auth_over_tls_hosts forces TLS before AUTH.
auth_hosts forces AUTH before MAIL.
So if you want to force AUTH over TLS before MAIL, you need to set both
options.
It's all different in Exim 4, but the same facility will be available.
