Well, as I said earlier, you can't actually say that to a client. All
you can do (all the protocol specifies) is to refuse to accept messages
from it. So I think your problem is with your client. If Exim advertises
AUTH LOGIN that's the best it can do. Exim 4 isn't going to help here,
because there's no other mechanism in SMTP.
