I'm not sure where this is documented, but this is my recollection:

1) Uncomment the 'authenticate_hosts' line under the 'remote_smtp'
   transport, and add the name of your ISP's smarthost.
2) Skip down to the end of your exim.conf and uncomment one of the
   client side authentication thingys.

As long as yu only have one smarthost, that should be all you have to
do.
