One of them (Virgin) uses LOGIN the other uses CRAM-MD5... I don't
think "offer" is quite the word to use for Virgin's smtps on port 465,
you're just meant to know that's what it wants you to do.
If there was a simple bodge here where I used the same method for both
then I would use it!
It may be that exim (and recall that this is exim as a client) is
supposed to pick out the correct authentication section automatically in
some way -- since there doesn't seem to be any way of specifying it
within the transport (which I half expected to be how it worked, rather
as you specify a transport within the router section)
If it is meant to be automatic then I can try (somehow?) and get some
debug output to see what is actually happening...
