Hello,
AUTH_SERVER_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS makes exim *accept* plaintext
authentication (AUTH PLAIn or AUTH LOGIN) from client programs. Afaict
you want exim to act as client, your smarthost asks for a password and
exim should *provide* it. The respective macro for that is
AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS.
