Too bad you're not using qmail as your MTA. If you were, I could tell you all about couriercheckpassword which is what I use to provide SMTP authentication. The thing I like about couriercheckpassword is that it uses whatever authentication method is available to courier. In my setup, courier is configured to use authdaemon which allows me to authenticate system accounts using PAM while virtual accounts use a userdb database file.
I don't have any experience with Exim so I don't know if it's possible to integrate couriercheckpassword with it.
