Suresh,
First of all, my apologies for sending you personal e-mail. The
mailing list does not set exim-users as the reply to, and so it
replied to your address.
As for the actual problem,
I was able to test with both enabling and disabling SMTP AUTH. The
problem has taken an interesting twist. When I try sending e-mail in
outlook without it already checking the e-mail (for instance, no POP
retrieval at the same time) the e-mail goes through fine. However,
when the e-mail is being sent while the machine already is sending a
POP connection, then both connections will eventually time out. This
is definitely looking to shape up like an Outlook problem, since I
also tried using the sendmail MTA and had the same results.
Time to bug microsoft....

Outlook uses AUTH LOGIN. Or AUTH PLAIN. One of the two, I keep
forgetting.
Configuring Exim to advertise and support AUTH PLAIN LOGIN should
help

Just set acl_smtp_auth not to require AUTH for connections from your
LAN IPs - that should do what you want.
