[exim] Auth not advertising to EHLO

Hi there,

I have a server which is not advertising SMTP Authentication even
though it is enabled..

mailstore# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mailstore.fluent.ltd.uk ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.3/8.14.3; Mon, 2 Nov
2009 17:26:04 GMT

250-mailstore.fluent.ltd.uk Hello localhost [127.0.0.1], pleased to
meet you

250-DSN
250-ETRN

250 HELP

The config shows it should be working fine.. Anyone got any ideas?
