It's the start of the day, and I am now awake. :-) When I wrote

I wasn't really thinking it through. What I should have said was that 
the debug should show the entire SMTP dialogue *at the top level*. It 
doesn't show exchanges that happen inside the authenticator code. I 
think that is probably a mistake, the result of an oversight when the 
authenticators were first implemented. That's quite a long time ago now, 
and I'm surprised nobody noticed it before. I will treat it as a bug, 
and fix it.

I don't think there is a security issue, because only an Exim admin user 
can start an Exim daemon, and in any case, only an Exim admin user can
set a sufficiently high debug level.
