To authenticate to a remote SMTP server, use hosts_require_auth in
your transport configuration, e.g.
auth_smtp:
driver = smtp
interface = 10.0.0.1
hosts_require_auth = host1:host2
and in the authenticators section, specify your driver:
fixed_cram:
driver = cram_md5
public_name = CRAM-MD5
client_name = auth-user
client_secret = password
This worked for me using Exim as an inbound gateway.
