AUTH= isn't right. Any mailserver that supports AUTH will not have that
= there. For example:
suresh@frodo 08:02:47 [~]$ telnet frodo.hserus.net 25
Trying 3ffe:401d:1f00:b::2...
Connected to frodo.hserus.net.

To set up AUTH to a smarthost using exim as a client, try
http://www.hserus.net/exim.html
Of course it just might mean that you will have to stop using eximconfig
/ debconf and configure exim by hand ... but that's a good thing.
