Hello, I went through this also as I have Verizon as outgoing smarthost.
If you are using the single config file option for creating your template
you will have to create the "exim4.conf.localmacros" file with the line
 AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS = true
Save it to the /etc/exim4 directory with root permissions and then run 
update-exim4.conf.
