Yes, the client must successfully authenticate before Exim will trust
the value of AUTH on an SMTP MAIL command.

No. (Well, not when the message comes from a client host.)

Yes, if the original client authenticated, and if the current host is
able to authenticate with the host it sends the message on to.

Only for non-SMTP mail (see the -oMaa option).
