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.

I found I had to add two lines to the macro:
|MAIN_TLS_ENABLE = true|
|AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS=yes|
after which I stopped exim4, ran update-exim4.conf and restarted exim4.
After this exim4 successfully sent a message.
In the process I finally understood that the macro causes
update-exim4.conf to modify the /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated file
rather than the exim4.conf.template file. Neat. As the Dean of the
Physics Dept (a theoretical physicist) used to say, "Dumb but a plodder."
