	It sounds like your ISP changed their configuration so as to 
require authentication for outgoing mail.  Or the remote MTA is 
misconfigured so that it thinks you should have to authenticate 
before it will accept your message.

	Either way, this appears to be a problem you need to discuss with 
them, and you'd be much more likely to get useful guidance in the 
future if you discussed these issues on a mailing list that is 
dedicated to supporting Exim.
