why don't you use the ldapauth expansion?
basically, if your users are able to authenticate against the ldap
server, you can use ldapauth to authenticate them in exim.

here's the plain conf i use:

plain:
    driver = plaintext
    public_name = PLAIN
    server_prompts = :
    server_condition = ${if ldapauth \
      {user="${lookup ldapdn \
    {ldap:///??sub?(uid=${quote_ldap:$2})}{$value}fail}" \
      pass="$3" \
      ldap:///}{yes}{no}}
    server_set_id = $value


after looking up the user's dn via the given username ( email address in
your case ) the authenticator tries to authenticate against the ldap
server with the looked up dn and the given password.

hth,
tom.
