It looks like you confugure your smarthost as smtp.frontier.com and tell it
to use your fronteir account username and password.
/etc/exim4/conf.d/ suggests a debian (or at least .deb) distro.
That uses a file called /etc/exim4/passwd.client to configure
your smarthost username and password
Put an email in ther queue with the network diconnected, list it using
sudo mailq
and then reconnect the network and run a foreground delivery with
sudo runq -v
check that authentication succeeds.
