Your sysadmin needs to configure a plain authenticator.

Apple Mail is working fine here :)

Here's a simple one:

plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
server_condition = "${if eq
{${lookup{$2}lsearch{/etc/exim/auth.users}{$value}fail}} {$3}
{yes}{no}}"
server_set_id = $2

It expects a file with "username: password" in /etc/exim/auth.users.
