Upgrade to exim 4.12, this is not related to your problem, but it's better
to use the latest version.

         ^^^^ OUCH!
Your client is sending "XXXX [10.0.1.2]" as a command, or was it you
working with telnet?

         ^^^^
HELO is plain SMTP, no AUTH capabilities will be announced
to the client, you must use EHLO (ESMTP). And I don't think that the
HELO [IP] syntax is correct, but I could be wrong in this point.

do exim -d -bh 10.0.1.2
this will emulate an SMTP session from 10.0.1.2

now type
EHLO your.host.name.tld

you should get back an capabilities announcement, that includes a line
like this

250-AUTH CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN

if not, something in your config is wrong, the debug output will include a
line like this

Host in auth_advertise_hosts? ...

What does it say for you?
