Sounds like you want a way to configure an authenticated smart host.
You need a router, authenticator and transport configured to route the
appropriate emails to the transport using the supplied authentication.

Ignore Step 1 and Step 3, and this gives some excellent hints as to what
is required to smart host though gmail. Steps 1 and 2 are very specific

Chapters 33 and 34 include exim behaving as a server and client. You
want it to be a client to authenticate with the smart host.
