OK, add a router like:
outgoing:
driver = manualroute
domains = ! +local_domains
transport = domainB_auth
route_list = * outgoingMta.domainB.com
Have a transport like:
domainB_auth:
driver = smtp
hosts_try_auth = mta_domainB_auth
In your authenticators have:
begin authenticators
cram_md5:
driver = cram_md5
public_name = CRAM-MD5
client_name =
"${extract{auth_name}{${lookup{$host}lsearch{/etc/exim/smtp_users}{$value}fail}}}"
client_secret =
"${extract{auth_pass}{${lookup{$host}lsearch{/etc/exim/smtp_users}{$value}fail}}}"
plain:
driver = plaintext
public_name = PLAIN
client_send =
"${extract{auth_plain}{${lookup{$host}lsearch{/etc/exim/smtp_users}{$value}fail}}}"
# The file /etc/exim/smtp_users contains lines like:
# mta_domainB_auth: auth_name=my_username auth_pass=secret
auth_plain=^my_username^secret
