Yes. This is entirely a configuration issue. I suggest somebody close
this bug as invalid, and maybe post a correct configuration for the
appropriate authenticator.

This is a config issue, not a bug. It seems that "server_prompts = :" is not
set in the PLAIN authenticator. This is what Exim on my system says:

$ telnet 0 msa

Adding a server_prompts line did the trick. Thanks guys!
