Summary: check_smtp problem with TLS+AUTH using Exim

Initial Comment:
When checking SMTP AUTH via TLS using Exim, you'll get 
a "503 AUTH command used when not advertised" error if 
trying to use AUTH without (re)sending EHLO _after_ the 
TLS negotiation.  RFC 3207 (4.2) says: "The client MUST 
discard any knowledge obtained from the server, such as 
the list of SMTP service extensions, which was not 
obtained from the TLS negotiation itself.  The client 
SHOULD send an EHLO command as the first command after 
a successful TLS negotiation."  The attached patch does 
just that in order to make the check_smtp plugin work 
with TLS+AUTH using Exim.
