It depends on what sort of SMTP AUTH. All are covered in the spec.txt,
delivered with the Exim 4 tar bundle.

I use AUTH PLAIN; in as much as my MUAs (Evolution 1.0.8, Mozilla 1.1b)
support it, if possible (Mozilla but not Evolution) I do STARTTLS first,
so all traffic is encrypted before the AUTH. But Exim supports 2 other
AUTH methods besides PLAIN. And Sendmail has others, that Exim doesn't
have.

So what kind of AUTH does your provider insist on?

Best,

Tony

The usefulness of RTFM is vastly overrated.
