Having a hard time figuring out something that is supposed to be easy. Tryiong to configure Dovecot so that it provides authentication to Exim for outgoing smtp. Tried different things and getting

authentication socket protocol error

Some (older?) versions of Exim needed a patch. Sorry, I do not remember exactly. I attach the patch below.

Exim->Dovecot conf works well here, there is only one (reported problem): http://readlist.com/lists/exim.org/exim-users/2/14908.html

I'm running the latest version of Exim. Would it still need patched? And - thanks for your help.
