So perhaps there's a problem with how Exim talks to whatever does the
authentication?

Is there a daemon handling the cramauth requests? Is it done via PAM?

Where does the auth stuff log? What do those files say? Is Exim even
trying to authenticate them?

If none of those provide useful information, what happens if you use a
debugging server? Eg, if Eudora allows you to set a port other than 25,
"exim -d9 -oX 26 -bd" ? Or if Eudora won't, if you temporarily run a
debugging daemon instead?

These two suggest a difference in how you talk to the auth system.

This one suggests that Eudora and Mozilla make use of different auth
options. Perhaps one uses AUTH CRAM and the other AUTH CRAM MD5 ?
Excuse my foggy brain if that doesn't make sense, just had a rather nice
meal and am not running my brain in top gear again. :^)
