Interesting. NB I haven't seen the relevant bit from your Exim config.
Here is mine, which certainly worked before I altered it to protect the
guilty:
login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = "Username:::Password::"
server_condition = ${if pam{$1:${sg{$2}{:}{::}}}{yes} \
{${if and {{eq{$1}{backdooruser}}{eq{$2}{backdoorpass}}}{yes}{no}}}}
server_set_id = $1

Why do you need to do this? Most people would run Exim as its own user.

I guess the next step is to tcpdump the connection to check that Eudora is
sending the right thing.
