The docs are wrong for the latest version of Exim. The code contains
this comment:

    /* The AUTH command is not permitted to occur inside a transaction, and may
    occur successfully only once per connection, and then only when we've
    advertised it. */


The change was made for 4.11, which is why the docs are wrong (they
haven't yet been updated).
