this unfortunately does not fix the auth, but does break the
novalidate-cert... at least in my configuration.

I tried inverting the order or the auth in exim config, or commenting
out login,to no avail.

My auth section is:

login:
   driver = plaintext
   public_name = LOGIN
   server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
   server_condition = "${if and {{!eq{$1}{}}{!eq{$2}{}} \
                           {crypteq{$2}{\
${lookup netinfo {-t localhost/local /users/$1 passwd 0} \
        {$value}{*}}}}}}{1}{0}}"

plain:
   driver = plaintext
   public_name = PLAIN
   server_prompts =  :
   server_condition = "${if and {{!eq{$2}{}}{!eq{$3}{}}\
                           {crypteq{$3}{${lookup\
            netinfo {. /users/$2 passwd 0} {$value}{*}}}}}{1}{0}}"

are you positively sure about that? Is it because it showed asmtp (or
A=..) in the logs, or because otherwiseit would have been rejected?
I am asking as in my case I do not get any error, not in the log or
in pine.

Thanks
