There have been various changes made to dovecot authentication in Exim
since 4.69; 4.70 hasn't been released yet. Do you feel up to building
from CVS and seeing if your problem has been resolved?
NM/02 Bugzilla 646: Removed unwanted C/R in Dovecot authenticator
conversation. Added nologin parameter to request.
Patch contributed by Kirill Miazine
NM/04 Bugzilla 667: close socket used by dovecot authenticator
NM/05 Bugzilla 598: Improvedment to Dovecot authenticator handling.
Patch provided by Jan Srzednicki
Fix NM/04 looks like it might fix your problem. (Assertion based on
patch descriptions and associated email, not on reading code).
