Much easier to have a local copy of /etc/passwd (say in the exim
directory - /etc/exim or wherever), chown'd to the exim uid/gid
(mailnull:mail) - read from that.
Or else you'd have to futz around with pam modules (e-admin.de/pam-exim
or whatever).
Alternatively, there's cyrus saslauthd that you can try (an update from
the cyrus pwcheck patch that was being used earlier).
Poke around
ftp.exim.org for a config.samples tarball.
