What are you authenticators? Afaik Outlook uses LOGIN and it's very
picky about server_prompts - it want them to be Username: and Password:
(note the trailing colon). Make sure you have defined one.

Here's a (working) example:

login:
    driver = plaintext
    public_name = LOGIN
    server_prompts = Username:: : Password::
    server_condition = ${lookup pgsql {SELECT password FROM users \
                                       WHERE username='${quote_pgsql:$1}' \
                                       AND password='${quote_pgsql:$2}' \
                                       AND active='y'} {yes} {no}}
    server_set_id = $1


You didn't really need to patch Exim - it's (or at least, it should be!)
possible to force Outlook to use authenticated SMTP.
