The actual 'body' of the acl needs to be placed where it is expected to
do its work, as they are (mostly) traversed sequentially, and in the
same sequence as an smtp session's progression.

Exim also expects you to name or 'map' your acls in 'main' before you
can use them.

Ergo an acl has to both 'exist' and be 'named'

Here is a snippet from one of my configure files.

The '38.2' is the Exim 4.4x spec section that covers this entry, a habit
that saves me time...:

# MAIN: Map Exim's core acl functions to our labels or use Exim's 
directly. 38.2
#
acl_smtp_connect = acl_connect
acl_smtp_helo    = acl_helo
acl_smtp_mail    = acl_mail_from
acl_smtp_rcpt    = acl_rcpt_to
acl_smtp_data    = acl_data
acl_smtp_auth    = acl_check_auth


Does your acl meet both tests?

HTH,
