Hello,

this is <http://bugs.debian.org/756258> as submitted by Mildred Ki'Lya:

<Quote>
When exim4 is configured with dovecot authenticator, it blocks at some
point, apparently expecting some information from dovecot. Dovecot on its
side is expecting additional information from exim. None of the two
parties move forward and exim do not respond to the SMTp client. After
some unspecified time, the MUA terminates the connection, because no
response is sent from the server.

Exim is configured with:

   begin authenticators

   dovecot_plain:
     driver = dovecot
     public_name = PLAIN
     server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb
     server_set_id = $auth1

   dovecot_login:
     driver = dovecot
     public_name = LOGIN
     server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb
     server_set_id = $auth1

Not sure whether this is relevant but those both have $auth1.
PLAIN usually has $auth2 where LOGIN has $auth1
