You must not be reading the same spec.txt that I am
From 29.3 of spec.txt:
hosts_require_auth Type: host list* Default: unset
This option provides a list of servers for which authentication must
succeed before Exim will try to transfer a message. If authentication
fails for servers which are not in this list, Exim tries to send
unauthenticated. If authentication fails for one of these servers,
delivery is deferred. This temporary error is detectable in the retry
rules, so it can be turned into a hard failure if required. See also
"hosts_try_auth", and chapter 32 for details of authentication.
