I have tried this with Exim 4.82.1 on a FreeBSD 9.2 machine.

Although the authentication is sucessful with the one-time passwd (otp),
the IP still is saved a "(null)".

Configuration
-------------

begin authenticators

plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
server_prompts = :
server_set_id = "$2/$sender_host_address"
server_condition = ${if saslauthd{{$2}{$3}{exim}}{1}{0}}
server_advertise_condition = true

login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
server_condition = ${if saslauthd{{$1}{$2}{exim}}{1}{0}}
server_set_id = "$1/$sender_host_address"
server_advertise_condition = true

Saslauthd
---------
% ps ax | grep sasl
10154 ??  Is      0:00.01 /usr/local/sbin/saslauthd -a pam


PAM
---
% grep /vol/auth /etc/pam.d/exim
auth            sufficient      pam_idng.so     otp saveotp=/vol/auth/exim otpsavetimeout=43200 otpsavemode=440 otpsaveownset=exim:mail noechopass


%cat /vol/auth/exim/ephraim
(null):479206

Note that a similar line works properly with Dovecot:

% grep /vol/auth /etc/pam.d/dovecot 
auth            sufficient      pam_idng.so     otp saveotp=/vol/auth/dovecot otpsavetimeout=43200 otpsavemode=440 otpsaveownset=exim:mail noechopass


% cat /vol/auth/dovecot/ephraim
132.65.80.15:317602

--------------------------------------

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
