Just to wrap this one up....
I'm not getting the auth details in the logs, and I'm pretty sure that is
because this is our oldest running mta which is in the process of being
upgraded, once the new NAS comes in this week we'll begin the migration,
and all should be good in the world.

We found in the backups of a site linked to the domain which had full auth
info in a php file, smtp username and password, we assumed this file got
lifted in a cms hack, but it turns out that it didn't. Definitely is
something worth looking into if you're experiencing something similar.

Yes, this was the path to success.
First off, mailq was the exim mail binary on the path installed by debian
on this old machine, had to create a symbolic link between /usr/bin/mailq
and /usr/lib/courier/bin/mailq
Otherwise, running mailq gives the impression of empty mailqueue!
Using that I could find the message Queue ID for a likely message
Pretty much taken from : http://www.courier-mta.org/queue.html - i found
the message id in
/usr/lib/courier/var/msgs by running
find -type f -print0 | xargs -r0 grep -F <message id from mailq>
and was able to find the AUTH info in the message headers in there, which
turned out to be a mother who returned from maternity leave and changed her
email password to her newly born son's firstname, which was rather easily
guessable.
So, thanks everybody for your input, got there in the end, and lots of new
things on my todo list for the new server for this client.
Lisa.
