For SMTP-AUTH in exim4, the authorization string saved in
/etc/exim4/passwd.client is of the form:
smarthost.isp.net:login_identification:password
with the colon character (:) being the delimiter.
Can this scheme work with a password which itself contains a colon,
such as:
this:is:my:password
by quoting the password:
smarthost.isp.net:login_identification:'this:is:my:password'

I'd guess that the whole thing gets split at the first colon, the rest
being the password -- cf. for example, in /etc/exim4/conf.d/auth/30_exim4-config_examples:
client_secret = ${extract{2}{:}{${lookup{$host}nwildlsearch{CONFDIR/passwd.client}{$value}fail}}}
That would mean: the quotes would be part of your password,
probably not what you want.
So I'd try without quotes first.
Cheers
