Running "exim -d+auth" to get debugging information, with enhanced details on authentication, would probably be informative. Since you're using Kerberos and don't mention it, I take it that you've created the server principal and put it somewhere that Exim will find it (via PAM?) SMTP uses "smtp/" principals instead of the "host/" principals normally used for authentication for PAM sign-in. Eg, I run "ktutil -k /etc/kerberos/tabs/exim.keytab list" and see principals for "smtp/[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with various ciphers. I use Cyrus SASL, not PAM; but on a Debian-derived system, I see a man-page for pam_krb5(8) which mentions the optional "keytab" attribute. You'd probably want to get an smtp principal into a file readable by the Exim running process and tell PAM to use that file for Exim with the keytab attribute.
