On your lmtp transport, put

  hosts_try_auth = *

Then you need to add a suitable authenticator. Something like this should
do:

  begin authenticators

  fixed_plain:
    driver = plaintext
    public_name = PLAIN
    client_send = ${lookup{$host}lsearch{/usr/local/etc/exim/clientauth}{$value}fail}

Then in /usr/local/etc/exim/clientauth you put

name.of.host	^username^password

Or if there's only one lmtp host, you can get rid of the lookup and hardcode:

    hide client_send = ^username^password

See the details in spec.txt about authenticators for more information.

HTH,

Brian.
