daemon_smtp_ports = 25 : 587 : 465
tls_on_connect = 465
tls_advertise_hosts = *
tls_certificate = /etc/ssl/exim.crt
tls_privatekey = /etc/ssl/exim.pem

In default config, acl_check_rcpt contains two "accept" paragraphs:
one with "hosts = +relay_from_hosts" and another with "authenticated = *".
That's enough.

If your port 25 were open from outside of the internal network then
you might forbid authentication for port 25 in that another paragraph
like this:

  accept authenticated = *
        condition = ${if !={$received_port}{25}}
        control = submission/domain=


but that'd not stop ougoing spam because WIndows trojans steal
port number along with username, password and hostname.
In order to catch outgoing spam, use

You can forbid unencrypted authentication: in each of two
authenticators PLAIN and LOGIN insert the line:

server_advertise_condition = ${if def:tls_cipher}

But some of your users' mail clients may not support encryption.
