Most of my users are on primary instance exim 1 both for sending and
receiving emails. I am trying to configure 2nd exim instance only for some
users geographically far away and trying to speed up sending emails
mechanism for those.

You mean i need to add server_condition instead of client_send in
authenticator sections for PLAIN & LOGIN ? and that's the reason i am
unable to send email to server when i select "My outgoing SMTP requires
authentication".
So once i mention server_condition i will work as i am anticipating ? Is
there any howto, examples available to configure SMTP authentication i am
looking for ?

Also, how to configure it for PAM instead of maintaining user/pass in text
file ?

Thank you.
