You don't have to, everything is explained in the exim spec. Of course
it's easier if you have some programming experience.

No, that would be {} after the first {yes}.
If the lookup fails, the second statement ("${if crypteq...") is used. I
think that's what you want.

it's not a condition, it's another expansion which is only used if the
sql-lookup failed. consider it as the "else" part of an if-then-else
construct.

yes. but as said, the file-lookup is (and should be) only done if the
sql-lookup failed.

I think there are no missing brackets (though I checked not really hard),
why don't you first just try what I wrote?
And what use is the "{*:*}"? I'd rather use "fail" (without brackets!) or
somebody could use "*:*" as a password for unknown users...
