Bug#299743: exim4: Only try configured mechs in cyrus_sasl authenticator

[Juergen Kreileder]

Package: exim4
Version: 4.50-4
Severity: normal

I've configured cyrus_sasl like described in #299732, ie. I'm using
three mechs: PLAIN, LOGIN and CRAM-MD5.

But something is trying to use OTP.  /var/log/auth.log get's flooded with:

,----
| Mar 16 04:33:47 server exim4: OTP unavailable because can't read/write key database /etc/opiekeys: No such file or directory
| Mar 16 04:33:47 server last message repeated 2 times
| Mar 16 04:41:17 server send-mail: OTP unavailable because can't read/write key database /etc/opiekeys: No such file or directory
| Mar 16 04:41:17 server last message repeated 2 times
`----

I think the authenticator should only try mechs which are actually
specified in the configuration.
