If your webhost uses pop before smtp chances are they advertise AUTH
too. Telnet to port 25 on their smtp server and issue an ehlo.
EHLO sean.example.com
Watch for stuff like
AUTH PLAIN LOGIN etc
Then see
http://www.hserus.net/exim.html
If they only do pop before smtp, stop your exim from running queues by
itself. Have a script (called from /etc/ppp/ip-up.local if dialup, or
from cron) which does something like -
fetchmail
sleep 10
exim -qff
