authenticate_hosts in Exim 3 is an option you set on the server, to
require incoming hosts to authenticate. In Exim 4, this is replaced by
suitable statements in an ACL.

But this isn't relevant to you. You want a *client* Exim to
authenticate. The options are hosts_require_auth and hosts_try_auth in
the smtp transport. Then you must also define a suitable authenticator.
