[Dovecot] exim4 dovecot sasl problem

hi!

i'm trying to do smtp authentication using dovecot and exim4 by following
this guide http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/EximAndDovecotSASL.


for the exim4 part, i got an

authenticator dovecot: cannot find authenticator driver "dovecot"
?error after i entered the codes in /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template and reloaded
exim4 with the update-exim4.conf command.

i'm running debian lenny.

here's the authentication section of exim4.conf.template:

begin authenticators

cram_md5:

? driver = cram_md5

? public_name = CRAM-MD5


? client_name = ${extract{1}{:}{${lookup{$
host}nwildlsearch{CONFDIR/passwd.client}{$value}fail}}}
? client_secret =
${extract{2}{:}{${lookup{$host}nwildlsearch{CONFDIR/passwd.client}{$value}fail}}}

PASSWDLINE=${sg{\

??????????????? ${lookup{$host}nwildlsearch{CONFDIR/passwd.client}{$value}fail}\
??? ??????? }\
??? ??????? {\\N[\\^]\\N}\
??? ??????? {^^}\
??? ??? }

plain:
? driver = plaintext
? public_name = PLAIN

.ifndef AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS
? client_send = "<; ${if !eq{$tls_cipher}{}\
??????????????????? {^${extract{1}{:}{PASSWDLINE}}\
??? ??? ???? ^${sg{PASSWDLINE}{\\N([^:]+:)(.*)\\N}{\\$2}}\
??? ??? ?? }fail}"

.else
? client_send = "<; ^${extract{1}{:}{PASSWDLINE}}\
??? ??? ??? ^${sg{PASSWDLINE}{\\N([^:]+:)(.*)\\N}{\\$2}}"
.endif

login:
? driver = plaintext
? public_name = LOGIN
.ifndef AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS

? # Return empty string if not non-TLS AND looking up $host in passwd-file
? # yields a non-empty string; fail otherwise.
? client_send = "<; ${if and{\
????????????????????????? {!eq{$tls_cipher}{}}\

????????????????????????? {!eq{PASSWDLINE}{}}\
???????????????????????? }\
????????????????????? {}fail}\
???????????????? ; ${extract{1}{::}{PASSWDLINE}}\
??? ??? ?; ${sg{PASSWDLINE}{\\N([^:]+:)(.*)\\N}{\\$2}}"

.else
? # Return empty string if looking up $host in passwd-file yields a
? # non-empty string; fail otherwise.
? client_send = "<; ${if !eq{PASSWDLINE}{}\
????????????????????? {}fail}\
???????????????? ; ${extract{1}{::}{PASSWDLINE}}\

??? ??? ?; ${sg{PASSWDLINE}{\\N([^:]+:)(.*)\\N}{\\$2}}"
.endif

dovecot_login:
? driver = dovecot
? public_name = LOGIN
? server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
? server_set_id = $auth1


dovecot_plain:
? driver = dovecot
? public_name = PLAIN
? server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
? server_set_id = $auth1

run exim -bV , search for string "Authenticators:" and check if
"dovecot" is present there. If not, you need to recompile you exim
with dovecot-sasl support.
