If you have your Exim configuration correct to accept AUTH PLAIN at all,
it'll accept it over two lines. Have you tested with a regular mail client?
One thing occurs to me: done over two lines, the client ought to wait
for the server prompt before sending the base64-encoded username and
password, or Exim is liable to complain (correctly) about an SMTP
synchronisation error. Can you check your Exim logs to see if that's the
problem (you may want to start Exim with -d to get debugging
information), and if it is, get the PHP code fixed so it either uses the
one-line version or waits for the server prompt.
