exim4 authentication trouble shooting

[Charles Hallenbeck]

I hope somebody might have a pointer or two for me on this one. I am 
using exim4 to send my outgoing email to a smart host which requires 
authentication. my system is a Debian Sid system, kernel 2.6.11, exim4 
version 4.52, and the instructions are pretty straightforward, and it 
seems to work fine.

Now I am attempting to duplicate the above on a Debian Sarge box, kernel 
2.6.11, exim4 version 4.50, where there are identical instructions for 
achieving the authentication, but this time it does not work. My ISP 
rejects my outgoing mail with a message indicating that authentication 
is required. Of course lots of other things probably are different 
between the Sid that works and the Sarge that doesn't, But I don't have 
a clue as to where to look for the problem. 

Any tips about how to get exim4 to authenticate to a smart host on a 
Debian Sarge system would be greatly appreciated. There must be 
something not covered in the instructions. I have asked the Debian users 
list about this, but no replies as yet.

Thanks for any ideas,
Chuck
