You've mixed up LOGIN and PLAIN. Spot the difference at
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.66/doc/html/spec_html/ch34.html#id2700584
"client_send = ^username^password" means "send NULL, usename, NULL, and
password in one line right after LOGIN PLAIN. LOGIN requires you to send
nothing right after AUTH LOGIN, then the username on its own line and the
password on a third line (everything base64-coded, which Exim takes care of
automatically).
