yes, if that's the level of security you need. You could
have a single username and password if it fits your threat
model. Or you could have exim call out to the Exchange
server over its fast network link to authenticate,
assuming there's a convenient way to do that (e.g. you
could use something like smbclient to test users' Windows
passwords).

I take it Exchange itself doesn't support message
submission over authenticated SMTP?
