When trying to send email, I get this error in /var/log/exim4/rejectlog:

By the way, I am using this in my exim configuration to interact with saslauthd:
# Authenticate against local passwords using sasl2-bin
plain_saslauthd:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
# don't send system passwords over unencrypted connections
server_advertise_condition = ${if eq{$tls_cipher}{}{0}{1}}
server_condition = ${if saslauthd{{$2}{$3}}{1}{0}}
server_set_id = $2
server_prompts = :
