I'm trying to configure exim 3.35 as relying to a outgoing smarthost which
uses PLAIN AUTH. Lines from /etc/exim/exim.conf (transport, router and
client authentication respectively):
#---------------
# This transport is used for delivering messages over SMTP connections.
remote_smtp: driver = smtp # authenticate_hosts = smarthost.isp.com authenticate_hosts = correu.upc.es
# Send all mail to a smarthost
smarthost: driver = domainlist transport = remote_smtp route_list = "* correu.upc.es bydns_a"
login: driver = plaintext public_name = LOGIN client_send = ": francesc oller : my_passwd" #--------------
While I can send mail manually via telnet, sending commands AUTH LOGIN,
base64("francesc oller") and base64("my_passwd"), exim fails to deliver
with an 505 Authentication required error. Lines from /var/log/exim/

It seems as if either exim doesn't first authenticate to server (but authenticate_hosts = correu.upc.es is set) or authentication code isn't built in, but exim -bP authenticators says:
#-------------- login authenticator: driver = plaintext public_name = LOGIN server_mail_auth_condition = server_set_id = client_send = : francesc oller : my_passwd server_condition = server_prompts = #--------------
Sadly to say M$ OutLook Express sends mail well, provided "authenticate when sending" box is checked
Any clues?
