Hi Ken, thanks for the feedback.
I'm not an Exim expert (in fact, I've never used it), but from reading Philip's post, it appears that Exim will not pass AUTH= unless it has authenticated to lmtpd (although RFC 2554 states that this is not required). By pre-authing lmtpd (lmtpd -a), you're preventing Exim from authenticating, unless you can find a way to tell Exim that it can use the EXTERNAL mechanism. My guess is that if you remove the -a option (and connect via TCP) that Exim will do what you want.
I thought the same as you & Philip, but if I remove pre-auth, then lmtp offers no AUTH mechs at all.
The you probably have a SASL config problem.
