Yes, that's the correct format. But it's not what you wrote first time.

Ah. You're using outgoing.verizon.net as your smarthost. (I don't recall
you saying that, either.)
The hostname component is matched to the target address, which most of
the time will probably not be your smarthost. So in order to make this
work you will need to change the hostname to "*" so that the rule applies
to all outgoing email regardless of actual destination.

Tried *:my-user-name:my-password with the same result: Authentication
Required.
Poured through the /usr/share/doc/exim4 documentation (also exim4-base
and exim4-config) which insist there is a file exim4-conf-localmacros
which can be set to modify line 1895 .ifndef
AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS in the exim4-conf-template file. I
have done all sorts of searches for exim4-conf-localmacros without
success but there is a directory /etc/exim4/conf.d/auth which contains a
dummy file 00_exim4-config_header and a file 30_exim4-config_examples
duplicating the relevant section of the exim-conf-template file. If
this is what is meant to be a macro I don't know how to use it. I tried
brute force - i.e. changing line 1895 to
AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS = true. update-exim4.conf did not
like this.
