On your lmtp transport, put
hosts_try_auth = *
Then you need to add a suitable authenticator. Something like this should
do:
begin authenticators
fixed_plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
client_send = ${lookup{$host}lsearch{/usr/local/etc/exim/clientauth}{$value}fail}
Then in /usr/local/etc/exim/clientauth you put
name.of.host ^username^password
Or if there's only one lmtp host, you can get rid of the lookup and hardcode:
hide client_send = ^username^password
See the details in spec.txt about authenticators for more information.
