hi,

sorry because of my late answer...had/have much work to do...

yes, your passwd can be a plaintext file.
if you want encrypted passwords, you have to change {eq{$2} into
{crypteq{$2} for your login and plain authenticator.
if you do so, you will have to generate passwords with mkpasswd...

you have to change a little bit within your cram-md5 authenticator - i´m
sorry! my fault.
it has to read

server_secret     = ${if
eq{$1}{${lookup{$1}lsearch{/usr/local/exim/passwd}{$value}{*:*}}}fail}


but this doesn´t solve your problem either...

i also don´t know what is implementet with the option:

hosts_require_auth=*

my config is doing well without it and works with auth.

dumb question:

what kind of message do you receive, if you do an exim4 -bh and play a
little with the settings?

Thanks for the response Mirko.

I've tried the recommendation below but I'm still getting "relay not
permitted" in the log files.

>acl_smtp_auth = acl_check_auth


I've put that line directly below the "acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_check_rcpt"


>acl_check_auth:
>
>    accept condition    = ${if
>eq{${uc:$smtp_command_argument}}{PLAIN}{yes}{no}
>    deny message    = PLAIN required

>
>acl_check_auth_1:

>    accept condition    = ${if
>eq{${uc:$smtp_command_argument}}{LOGIN}{yes}{no}

>eq{${uc:$smtp_command_argument}}{CRAM-MD5}{yes}{no}

The block above I have inserted just before the start of the ROUTER config
section

The file "passwd" is just a plain text file. Is this correct?
