Here is a nice set of filters that someone shared. It doesn't cover the
AUTH case in question, but it does have several other nice things.

One thing to be careful about with fail2ban filters is making sure they
match your actual log entries. If you mess around with exim's normal
logging, then fail2ban you get from someone else might fail-to-ban.
