I am an exim novice, but I got this working, so here is my advice,
but take it with suspicion...

your plain: authenticator looks more like my login: one (which you
did not define).

plain:
   driver = plaintext
   public_name = PLAIN
   server_condition = "${if and {{!eq{$2}{}}{!eq{$3}{}} \
                           {crypteq{$3}{${extract{1}{:} \
{${lookup{$2}lsearch{/etc/exim/passwd}{$value}{*:*}}}}}}}{1}{0}}"
   server_set_id = $2


login:
   driver = plaintext
   public_name = LOGIN
   server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
   server_condition = "${if and {{!eq{$1}{}}{!eq{$2}{}} \
                           {crypteq{$2}{${extract{1}{:} \
{${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/exim/passwd}{$value}{*:*}}}}}}}{1}{0}}"
   server_set_id = $1


the difference is mainly the check on the length of user/pass.

I simply just copied /etc/master.passwd and gave it the appropriate
permissions/ownership for the exim process (and no others.. almost)
to be able to read.

I have tested this with Eudora and Mail.app (on the Mac).

Of course you should enable SSL (TLS).
