Just went ahead and edited /etc/exim4/conf.d/auth/30_exim4-config_examples to include the login id and password. Just including below the relevanty section:
plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
client_send = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#.ifndef AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS
# client_send = "${if !eq{$tls_cipher}{}{\
# ^${extract{1}{::}\
#
{${lookup{$host}lsearch*{CONFDIR/passwd.client}{$value}fail}}}\
# ^${extract{2}{::}\
#
{${lookup{$host}lsearch*{CONFDIR/passwd.client}{$value}fail}}}\
# }fail}"
#.else
# client_send =
"^${extract{1}{::}{${lookup{$host}lsearch*{CONFDIR/passwd.client}{$value}fail}}}^${extract{2}{::}{${lookup{$host}lsearch*{CONFDIR/passwd.client}{$value}fail}}}"
#.endif
Note that I have commented out the debian additions. It worked.
HTH,
