Here is what I did for 013's mail server:
root # cat /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/90_exim4-config_SMTP-AUTH
### main/90_exim4-config_SMTP-AUTH
##################################
# SMTP-AUTH client configuration.
# See /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.SMTP-AUTH for explanations.
AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS = mail.013.net
root # cat /etc/exim4/passwd.client
### CONFDIR/passwd.client
#
# Format:
#targetmailserver.example:login:password
#
# default entry:
### *:bar:foo
mail.013.net:user_name:password
And restart exim: /etc/init.d/exim4 restart.
I do hope I haven't forgotten something. You might notice that I am
using the multiple files configuration method.
Do let us know if your ISP uses a more sophisticated authentication
method. Which reminds me: how come using cables has to do with
authentication to the ISP mail server?
