The 334 is the response code from the server.  The data after it is
base64 encoded and decodes to "Username:".

Aha.  I guess when the server didn't like the username/passwd pair you
sent it decided to switch from AUTH PLAIN to AUTH LOGIN.  However,
exim wasn't expecting an "interactive" prompt for the username and
password, so it stopped processing right then.  (BTW, AUTH LOGIN is
not actually defined in any standard)

I don't know, use ethereal to see what is actually being sent across
the wire.  Different server, perhaps?
