Assuming you're using exim, if your /etc/exim/exim.conf doesn't have
this stuff, you probably should rerun eximconfig and choose option 1,
I think.

Put/change this in your /etc/exim/exim.conf

host_auth_accept_relay = *

and then find this section in /etc/exim/exim.conf and do what it says
for server side auth:

######################################################################
#                   AUTHENTICATION CONFIGURATION                     #
######################################################################

# Look in the documentation (in package exim-doc or exim-doc-html for 
# information on how to set up authenticated connections.
