There might be a way to use PAM, or to directly read /etc/passwd, but I'd advise against doing so. System passwords are way too valuable to use for e-mail authentication which usually means storing them in clear text on the client. At least make absolutely sure that your exim only advertises SMTP AUTH over an encrypted connection, or the valueable system password will be sent in the clear.
