If this message gets through I seem to have found the problem.

While reading /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.TLS.gz, I found

/etc/exim4/conf.d/main/03_exim4-config_tlsoptions) and activate these
options by removing the hash-mark ("#") in front of them.
log_selector = +tls_cipher +tls_peerdn
# tls_advertise_hosts = *
# tls_certificate = CONFDIR/exim.crt
# tls_privatekey = CONFDIR/exim.key

As my smtp server didn't indicate it honored/ran tls, I checked
/etc/exim4.conf.template and found that for some reason, contrary to
the above README, they were already uncommented, so I commented them
out.

My reply to David was sent with the LOGIN enabled and this one is with
cram_md5.  My fingers are crossed..
