I think that there's a missing part in the middle.

So the remote side refused to authenticate, saying it wasn't available.
Strange, I thought that Exim wouldn't even try an auth if it wasn't
advertised, so perhaps it's being advertised without actually being
available. :/

What came in the middle there, where you have a blank line? Because ...

there's no sign that a challenge was seen.

Exim stops before here if the AUTH command was rejected. At least, it
does in current versions. What version are you running?
