debian manages to use a file with host names for auth.

by means of this in the transport

  hosts_try_auth = <; ${if exists{CONFDIR/passwd.client} \
      {\
      ${lookup{$host}nwildlsearch{CONFDIR/passwd.client}{$host_address}}\
      }\
      {} \
      }


and this in the authenticator:

cram_md5:
driver = cram_md5
public_name = CRAM-MD5
client_name = ${extract{1}{:}{${lookup{$host}nwildlsearch{CONFDIR/passwd.client}{$value}fail}}}
client_secret = ${extract{2}{:}{${lookup{$host}nwildlsearch{CONFDIR/passwd.client}{$value}fail}}}

and a file like

example.com:username:password


Debian package name "exim4-config" if you want to look at the rest.
most archive magages should get you in. look at the files in
/etc/exim4/conf.d/
