Poured through the /usr/share/doc/exim4 documentation (also exim4-base
and exim4-config) which insist there is a file exim4-conf-localmacros
which can be set to modify line 1895 .ifndef
AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS in the exim4-conf-template file. I
have done all sorts of searches for exim4-conf-localmacros without
success but there is a directory /etc/exim4/conf.d/auth which contains a
dummy file 00_exim4-config_header and a file 30_exim4-config_examples
duplicating the relevant section of the exim-conf-template file. If
this is what is meant to be a macro I don't know how to use it. I tried
brute force - i.e. changing line 1895 to
AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS = true. update-exim4.conf did not
like this.

Hello, I went through this also as I have Verizon as outgoing smarthost.
If you are using the single config file option for creating your template
you will have to create the "exim4.conf.localmacros" file with the line
AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS = true
Save it to the /etc/exim4 directory with root permissions and then run
update-exim4.conf.
This sounds right to me but I haven't got it to work. I created the
file exim4.conf.localmacros with root:root ownership and xrw permissions
containing just the line
AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS = true
and ran update-exim4.conf. I expected it to modify the two lines in
exim4.conf.template which read
.ifndef AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS
but they are unchanged and when trying to send mail with exim4 I still get
authentication required.
