I use mail and have no problems with it and exim whatsoever. My
authenticators are slightly different, and both work (although I use
the cram-md5 one now, I did test both when I set it up some time ago):
begin authenticators
plain_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = Username:: : Password::
# only show on TLS-protected connections
server_advertise_condition = ${if eq{$tls_cipher}{}{no}{yes}}
server_condition =
${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/exim/domains/smtp-auth.pwd}\
{${if eq{$value}{$2}{yes}{no}}}{no}}
server_set_id = $1
cram_md5_login:
driver = cram_md5
public_name = CRAM-MD5
server_advertise_condition = ${if eq{$tls_cipher}{}{no}{yes}}
server_secret =
${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/exim/domains/smtp-auth.pwd}{$value}fail}
server_set_id = $1
I don't inlcude a PLAIN authenticator at all (I guess that's one way of
forcing them to use LOGIN).
