Are you sure that you're using the same credentials and filter in your
Java client an in exim? I'd guess, connecting the LDAP from exim results
in a less privileged session. You won't even see a warning or such. The
LDAP server just doesn't tell you anything about the userPassword.

But you pay with the loss of flexibility and more config hassle on the
side of exim. The LDAP server should be used for authentication if the
userPasswords are stored there.
