Found it under the doc dir :-).

According to the exim docs [1] the service name is exim.

This changes the error message from "435 Unable to authenticate at
present" to "535 Incorrect authentication data". As far as I know this
error message just means, that the related config file under pam.d isn't
correct. Damn it.... However I don't understand why you are using this
server_prompt, since exim docs suggest something different.
