I have some problem with the way IMAL (8.x) handles SMTP-Auth email. A
customer  from  us  seems to have a compromised host, which sends Spam
evry two weeks or so trough their local gateway

tell them that you will not relay outbound mail that has been submitted to their system without SMTP AUTH.

Since they are spamming you from a trusted IP, you show them your logs and shut them off until they fix their system. In the meantime, their own gateway can send directly to Internet and shift the problem onto them.

 - which is relayed over our IMAIL Server.

Their  Mail  server requires no authentification for their local hosts
to send mail

I'd be surprised if a mail-bot/trojan in a compromised machine is doing SMTP AUTH to submit spam to their mail server. Their mail server is more likely doing relay for addresses.
