Pretty standard...

So it sounds like once you've got the authentication working, your relaying
will be fine too.

However, I think we could do with some more information...

What sort of authentication do you want? What does your "authentication"
config section look like? What sort of failure are you experiencing - does
the server not offer the authentication, or does the server reject the
client's credentials? What do the logs show? Have you tried running with
debugging enabled (exim -d)? What does the debug output look like?
