I get a significant number of failed SMTP sessions at gmail
(smtp.gmail.com::587). Connections start the same, but fail
when exim appears to not send an AUTH LOGIN command:

Failures happen with both of my gmail accounts. They seem to
be random; repeated identical attempts are unpredictable, and
it doesn't matter which gmail server IP address I'm connected
to. The transport's hosts_require_auth includes smtp.gmail.com.
I don't have the problem with (several) non-gmail servers.
I'm running 4.94.2-7 on Debian 11.2, and 4.95-4 on Debian sid.
Suggestions? Thanks.
