Right! Now I understand. Indeed, that will be the case for auth_hosts=*.

I think you will probably have to wait for Exim 4 to do what you want.
It's all much more flexible there in that you *can* look at the
recipient (and sender) before checking authentication and encryption.
One of the motivations for the big upheaval that is Exim 4 was to allow
for much more flexibility in this area.
I am now pretty confident that the first alpha release of Exim 4 will be
around the end of this month.
