Note that you don't need to install all of SASL, nor you need to compile it
all. You need only do:

./configure --with-pwcheck
cd pwcheck
make
cp pwcheck /usr/local/sbin

mkdir /var/pwcheck
chown mail:mail /var/pwcheck
chmod 750 /var/pwcheck

pwcheck

and if at that stage you have an exim binary compiled with

CYRUS_PWCHECK_SOCKET=/var/pwcheck/pwcheck

in Local/Makefile,

you are ready to go. Use

server_condition = "${if pwcheck{$2:$3}{1}{0}}"

for AUTH PLAIN and

server_condition = "${if pwcheck{$2:$3}{1}{0}}"

for AUTH LOGIN.
