Hello,

The conf fragment provided by Tony is correct.
You can use whatever delimiter you like, but these *really* known to
work:

server_prompts = <; Username: ; Password:
server_prompts = <| Username: ; Password:
server_prompts = <, Username: , Password:

You have to trace the things up, using tcpdump, Exim native debugging,
and so on.

That's for Exim:

exim -bh 127.0.0.1 -d-all+auth

Say "EHLO localhost" and proceed with "AUTH LOGIN", followed by
base64-encoded username and password, each on a separate line. If you
see something like "AUTH command used when not advertised", refer to TFM
;-)

And that's for raw tcpdump session hijacking:
tcpdump -i eth0 -s 1500 -l -w - port 25 | strings

You need a package (like metamail) that allows you to encode/decode
base64 strings for the LOGIN authenticator. See mimencode(1).

The exact reason could lie under your Perl stuff.
