headless server ) ?
Ive tried it with SSH ing to the server and then starting on the
server
tcpdump -vv host smtp.gmail.com

im trying to go through this and sort out which bit of it is failing

my smtp_user file is this
root@server2:~# cat /etc/exim4/smtp_users
*@isp.org smarthost="localhost::26" auth_name=[3]"p@???"
auth_pass="password"
*@gmail.com: smarthost="smtp.gmail.com::587"
auth_name=[4]"mx@???" auth_pass="password"

router

the authenticator
login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
client_send = ": ${extract{auth_name}{${lookup{$sender_address}wildlsearch{/etc
/exim/smtp_users}{$value}fail}}}\
: ${extract{auth_pass}{${lookup{$sender_address}wildlsearch{/etc/exim/smtp_user
s}{$value}fail}}}"

I start thinking that your Exim does not even starts an attempt to
authenticate.
