Bug#323565: exim4-config: smarthost always tries to authenticate if AUTH is advertised

[Marc Haber]

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.52-1
Severity: normal

30_exim4-config_remote_smtp_smarthost says

hosts_try_auth = ${if exists {CONFDIR/passwd.client}{DCsmarthost}{}}

Since exim4 shows a CONFDIR/passwd.clinent file, an exim client will
always try to authenticate to the smarthost if the smarthost
advertises AUTH.

This is a bug, because exim should only try to authenticate when
actual authentication data is present.

Greetings
Marc
