I too use exim.  I have a rule that requires senders in the hosted
domain to authenticate:

Sample excerpt from exim.conf:

# In the Main config section
domainlist must_auth_senders = example.com

# In the ACL section under acl_check_rcpt after basic checks but
# before SPF and blacklist checks.
  accept  authenticated  = *
  deny    message        = Local originators must authenticate
          sender_domains = +must_auth_senders


HTH,

Phil
