Yup.  :-)

This doesn't look right.  I think you want
    server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
(Yes, I know it was supposed to be 'User Name', but Outlook
Express doesn't.  It expects Username:.)

You probably don't want those constants there, unless Philip
Hazel is now working for you.  :-)  I think you want:
    server_condition = "${if pam {$1:$2}{yes}{no}}"
    server_set_id = $1

This is the one Netscape uses:

Did you setup /etc/pam.d/exim?  You can use something like:
auth     required       pam_pwdfile.so pwdfile /etc/exim/passwd
account  required       pam_pwdb.so

where /etc/exim/passwd is the password file you are using for
the auth (since you really don't want to be sending system
passwords like this).
