Thanks Vlad,
the last three lines (ifnedef - endif) can
be IMHO deleted, because DIGEST-MD5 (and CRAM-MD5 and NTLM) do
not send plaintext passwords, so should be allowed even on
otherwise unencrypted connection.
commented out.
Check if user Debian-exim is member of
sasl group - to get access to /etc/sasldb2.
root@blmail:/etc/exim4/conf.d# groups Debian-exim
Debian-exim : Debian-exim root mail sasl cyrus
root@blmail:/etc/exim4/conf.d# ls -l /etc/sasldb2
-rw-rw---- 1 cyrus Debian-exim 12288 Feb 19 20:19
/etc/sasldb2
Looks right to me...
Thunderbird has separate auth setting for
SMTP, hovewer you should specify the same user/pass as for IMAP.
Check also the option "auth method" and set encrypted password -
which is luser translation of DIGEST/CRAM-MD5.
It seems that exim is not using the same auth as cyrus. TB
doesn't recognise the encrypted passwords option. Nor does
Outlook so I don't think it's the MUA.
When I let TB query the server for settings it correctly returns
with 'Encrypted password' for IMAP but 'Password, transmitted
insecurely' for SMTP. Leaving that setting results in the
expected 'relay not permitted' setting it in TB to use 'Encrypted
password' results in the following error message in TB:
Sending of message failed.
The SMTP server chemainus.mjbrownloos.com does not support
the selected authentication method. Please change the
'Authentication method' in the 'Account Settings | Outgoing
Server (SMTP)'.
I'm watching (tail -f) the following 4 log files when I send
(/var/log/exim/ has only mainlog and rejectlog):
/var/log/exim4/mainlog
/var/log/exim4/rejectlog
/var/log/syslog
/var/log/auth.log
but I'm not seeing anything helpful. Indeed I need to trace the
process on send and find out where is is baulking, any thoughts on
how to find that?
Since this seems to now be an Exim thing, perhaps at this point I
should be asking this on the exim list?

Just because IMAP auth is done by cyrus and
SMTP auth by exim ;) Check /var/log/exim/*log, there might be
some hints...
