Then it's a problem communicating those credentials. One's using md5
hashes and the other's expecting crypt/PAM/Kerberos?!?/...

Then it's not the credentials, it's how they're being communicated
from one process to the other. I'd ignore exim on this for now. I'd
say your problem's ldap. Sort it out and exim should fall into line.
Yes, ldap can be bloody frustrating depending on the existing LAN
software.

What? Is the server accepting telnet connections? I don't do
Windows, but surely it has some sort of telnetd/sshd by now?
