Bug#299733: exim4: $primary_hostname not expanded in cyrus_sasl authenicator

[Juergen Kreileder]

Package: exim4
Version: 4.50-4
Severity: normal

It looks like there is a bug in the cyrus_sasl authenticator when you
don't set server_hostname (default value: $primary_hostname).

I've tested the cyrus_sasl/cram-md5 with cmd5[1] and this configuration:

,----
| cram_md5_sasl_server:
|   driver = cyrus_sasl
|   public_name = CRAM-MD5
|   server_realm = server
|   server_set_id = $1
`----

The challenge showed up as <...@$primary_hostname>, ie.
$primary_hostname didn't get expanded.
