True  but from the POV of the compliance auditor the account credentials
were leaked because the server told the client that plain text was OK to
use.

I  don't think they really care if its Exchange or not, they simply want
him to
  "Disable the plaintext authentication methods on your SMTP server ..."

Your link above corrects the issue.

Then  its  simply  a  matter of telling all your users that if they want
your  server  to  relay  their mail to external servers they must use an
e-mail client that can do secure authentication.
