Exim. You don't need to learn black magic to get it to work right :)
Sendmail 8.10 and higher can do it but you need to learn black magic to
get it to work right in the config file before you need to learn black
magic to get SASL to work right.
Postfix also uses SASL for SMTP AUTH and needs some of the same black
magic.
I've been unimpressed with SASL, if case you haven't figured it out yet :)
Why not stick with Exim - you're already using it :) I have some sample
configurations for you to look at if you need them.

Anything that can auth via PAM can use the pam_ldap module.
Exim can talk to the ldap directory natively if it's compiled correctly;
that's also the Debian default.

Worthy cause! However, you need to hope that Verizon doens't DNAT
outgoing connections on port 25 to their own mail servers. Putting a
second copy of Exim at, say, port 26 would fix that.
