I dont use exim on freebsd but
https://github.com/Exim/exim/wiki/AuthenticatedSmtpUsingSaslauthd
suggests you could use it with cyrus-sasl-authd which is an option in
the port has that as an option in "make config" but not selected by default.
Another option the port has is dovecot auth if you run dovecot imap/pop3
https://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/EximAndDovecotSASL
I use the dovecot sasl with postfix happily, but as I said I've not
tried exim.
Hope some of thats helpful
