Groups (and ACLs) are a very important concept in Windows and Cygwin has
fully supported them for years. Exim on Cygwin also does AUTH.
In fact the precompiled version is made with

AUTH_CRAM_MD5=yes
AUTH_PLAINTEXT=yes
# AUTH_SPA=yes

SUPPORT_TLS=yes
TLS_LIBS=-lssl -lcrypto

ROUTER_ACCEPT=yes
ROUTER_DNSLOOKUP=yes
ROUTER_IPLITERAL=yes
ROUTER_MANUALROUTE=yes
ROUTER_QUERYPROGRAM=yes
ROUTER_REDIRECT=yes

TRANSPORT_APPENDFILE=yes
TRANSPORT_AUTOREPLY=yes
TRANSPORT_PIPE=yes
TRANSPORT_SMTP=yes

SUPPORT_MAILDIR=yes
SUPPORT_MAILSTORE=yes
SUPPORT_MBX=yes

LOOKUP_DBM=yes
LOOKUP_LSEARCH=yes

# LOOKUP_CDB=yes
LOOKUP_DNSDB=yes
# LOOKUP_DSEARCH=yes
# LOOKUP_LDAP=yes
# LOOKUP_MYSQL=yes
# LOOKUP_NIS=yes
# LOOKUP_NISPLUS=yes
# LOOKUP_ORACLE=yes
LOOKUP_PASSWD=yes
# LOOKUP_PGSQL=yes
# LOOKUP_WHOSON=yes
