Your usercode wasn't being found. What happens if you run
sasldblistusers2 as a user who can read the DB file? It should list
lines of "user@realm: userPassword"; the realm will be the one you need
to see in Exim; it defaults to the host fqdn so if you created the user
accounts on the host with saslpasswd2 then that's the realm you need to
see.

If you're still stuck, then "strings sasldb2" has also helped me in the
past.
