For using SSL, KMail supports two options:
SSL is the old SSL upon connect (the client starts right off negotiating
SSL)
TLS is the modern form where the client sees STARTTLS in the capabilities
list that comes back after EHLO and starts the negotiation then.
Your description says you have the modern way enabled in your Exim
configuration, and the obsolete way selected in KMail. Change KMail's
setting.
Right below those choices are the authentication method choices--you need to
select one your Exim configuration advertises to you (which I think I
remember from the discussion that you have.
Note: I'm doing this from
<
http://wssg.berkeley.edu/public/test/calmail/>
as I don't have a modern-enough KMail to make such claims, and haven't used
it for a long time. Page found by a Google search for
kmail starttls
(along with several much less useful pages).
