I tried with psi-im it says

there was an error communicating with the server
Details: Disconnected

The ejabberd error log says

** Reason for termination =

Your config looks good

will the auto internal at the top control all others

The config file is read in order, and options are overwritten. In your case, first 'internal' is set to all, and later 'external' is set for virtualhost2.com. The result is like this:

virtualhost1.com will use internal
virtualhost2.com will use external
virtualhost3.com will use internal
... use internal

Your configuration should work as you wanted.

If it does not work correctly, try including the extauth_program option inside the host_config, like this:

{auth_method, internal}.

{host_config, "virtualhost2.com", [ 
    {extauth_program, "php /opt/ejabberd-2.0.5/auth/ssc_ext_auth.php"},
    {auth_method, external}
]}.
