I use one instance for both.

The file should be protected from reading by webserver and other users:
-rw-r----- 1 root mail
(I use FreeBSD, possibly other group name under other operating systems).

client_send is for auth when Exim acts as a client.

You need the opposite: auth when your Exim acts as a server.
begin authenticators
plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
server_prompts = :
server_condition = ${if eq{$auth3}\
{lookup{$auth2}lsearch{/etc/exim/passwd.client}{$value}fail}}
server_set_id = $auth2
login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
server_condition = ${if eq{$auth2}\
{lookup{$auth1}lsearch{/etc/exim/passwd.client}{$value}fail}}
server_set_id = $auth1
I use PAM instead of plain text file, so I'm not sure in the
server_condition string. I hope that other list members will check.
