you don't actually want that... you want to allow those who
authenticate without creating an open relay on port 25...
authentication cheking is best done with an allow rule

Split setup is a Debian invention,

Debian ships exim with the apropeiate check already in
acl/30_exim4-config_check_rcpt

You just need to setup the authenticator this is best
done by adding new a file modeled on the content of
auth/30_exim4-config_examples.
