One of the problems is that exim needs to change it's UID for
deliveries so that it uses the user's UID instead of 'mail' or 'root'.
You can, however, set the "exim user" to something else in exim.conf
if you want (option 'exim_user').

Read /usr/share/doc/exim/spec.txt.gz for all you will ever need to
know about exim. (well, maybe not quite, but it _is_ a complete
documentation)
In particular, chapter 35 will be of interest to you. I haven't done
anything with AUTH myself, though.
