Ok, my first step was to get a fixed username/secret pair:
cram:
  driver = cram_md5
  public_name = CRAM-MD5
  server_secret = ${if eq{$1}{username}{password}fail}
  server_set_id = $1

And then called swaks:

$ ./swaks --auth CRAM-MD5 --server our.mail.server.com --auth-user username --auth-password password

and it worked, at least. (Ok, not totally, relaying is still not
permitted, but this is the next step!)

So why does this not look up the right thing:
cram:
  driver = cram_md5
  public_name = CRAM-MD5
  server_secret = ${lookup{*}lsearch{/etc/exim/clientpasswd}{$1}fail}
  server_set_id = $1


Best wishes
