"man exim4_passwd_client" says
The file should contain lines of the form
target.mail.server.example:login-user-name:password
which will cause exim to use login-user-name and password
when sending messages to a server with the canonical host name
target.mail.server.example.
It goes on to warn that the target must be the rDNS entry for the mail
server and offers suggestions how to get that right. It also warns about
setting the routing correctly (I assume that a smarthost would override
this, for example), but I haven't tried it myself. Yet.
