Well, it turns out all I had to do was comment out AUTH LOGIN and AUTH PLAIN
and it is all working well, so this now works from Thunderbird, Outlook Express
and Outlook 2003:
######################################################################
# AUTHENTICATION CONFIGURATION #
######################################################################
#plain:
# driver = plaintext
# public_name = PLAIN
# We should be able to do a dbm lookup in the sasldb2 database using
# a key composed by concatenating the username, domain name, and
# 'userPassword'. BUT cyrus-sasl puts NULs between the components
# and exim can't handle strings with embedded NULs... Hence the perl.
# server_condition = ${perl {checkPw} {$2} {$3} {mail} }
# server_set_id = $2
#login:
# driver = plaintext
# public_name = LOGIN
# server_prompts = <| Username: ; Password:
# server_condition = ${perl {getPw} {$1} {mail} }
# server_set_id = $1
# server_advertise_condition = 1
cram:
driver = cram_md5
public_name = CRAM-MD5
server_secret = ${perl {getPw} {$1} {mail}}
server_set_id = $1
