No, it is not. Which other ways did you try?

You need to set up other ways for authentication for outgoing e-mail.
Typical ways for simple setups are relaying messages that come in from
your local network, or to use SMTP AUTH.

Which is the split config in /etc/exim4/conf.d, or a monolithic file
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template.

Which is, if it really happens, a BAD bug. Can you reproduce this? If
yes, please file a bug with the Debian BTS.

Debian's reportbug script will dump the relevant parts of the Debconf
database into the bug report, and we'll see what was entered there.

Did you change the appropriate value in
/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf and re-run update-exim4.conf (which
is automatically done by the init script when starting or reloading
exim)?
