What did these folks mean by "v"?? CHECK authorization required! Great, huh?

What the problem is that exim4 does not allow plaintext passwords in smarthost 
authentication by default. The provider apparently will not accept TLS and 
such so I need to enable plaintext though not the best idea.

SO I placed the following 
in /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/01_exim4-config_listmacrosdefs:
.ifndef AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS
AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS = yes
.endif

This did not work.
The documentation said to do something like this but did not really clearly 
tell me how

I have in /etc/exim4/passwd.client:
provider-smtp...:username:password

as before.
