I have posted the logs twice now.
Still no one has commented on what the problem might be there : just
tried to dissuade me from using exim for some reason.
Could anyone comment on these logs please? Clearly exim IS talking to
gmails smtp server so its not an issue of the passwd.client file.

This is AFTER following this wiki:
http://wiki.debian.org/GmailAndExim4
Do I have to enable authenticators or something? How would I debug this
to provide you experts with the info you need?
Again : I wish to use exim4 to deliver via a gmail smarthost. According
to the documentation this is supported and should be easy to configure :
not overly complicated or underkill for exim. I already have it
delivering locally via procmail. But I wish to forward internal system
mail (e.g cron reports) to an external address. I can not deliver from
my own smtp server because I have dynamic IP which is in a black listed
IP block. Hence the common need to use smarthost delivery.
Any and all help appreciated.
