I don't think you can do it in Exim directly (well, you could obviously
try lookups against multiple passwd type files, by extending the server
condition, but that doesn't appear likely to be useful to you).
What you can do, however, is use multiple authentication databases from
Dovecot (see
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases),
that way Exim can use just that as its authentication provider.
(I haven't done this with Dovecot's SASL, but I have with Cyrus).
