There is no need to run a separate Exim process for the separate port
with a separate configuration file (and this approach is only causing
you problems. Simply have one configuration file and tell Exim to
listen on multiple ports. The port that a message is submitted on is
available in the $interface_port expansion variable, so you can test for
the port at the relevant time.
There are several ways to tell Exim to start on multiple ports: the
daemon_smtp_ports setting, the local_interfaces setting or the -oX
parameter. That done, you could add this to an ACL in your standard
config:
accept hosts = +auth_relay_hosts
condition = ${if eq {$interface_port}{587} {yes}{no}}
endpass
message = relay not permitted, authentication required
authenticated = *
It's almost always preferable to have one config file and check for the
various ways a message might be submitted, rather than having separate
config files for each possibility.
