I have an old thread about this problem. To get right to the bottom - the login credentials which you need to connect to Eir's SIP server will not be revealed to you by Eir. In fact I was told they actually dont know them themselves. They are system generated and will be pushed out to their routers via automated remote config. Both them and you can only see the encrypted credentials and entering those into your own equipment will of course not work.
Basically what that means you cannot directly connect to Eir's SIP server with your own equipment. I'm pretty sure you can connect local VOIP devices like soft phones to your Eir router. But the first device in line to connect to Eir's SIP server must be their Eir router.
I since have switched to digiweb who are using Fritzboxes (which I had already) but the same problem applies. They pushed a SIP config to my Fritzbox enabling voice services over broadband and I can register all sorts of VOIP devices to my Fritzbox but again the external credentials are not know to me.
This is my old thread. I think this very much applies to your problem.
This is Fritzbox's SIP config screen. As you can see the password is not revealed. Username is basically your full international phone number. These details were deployed by remote config and any meddling will make VOIP stop working.

Hopefully I'm not dragging up a dead thread but having faced exactly this issue recently I thought my experience may help others here.
I have Eir 1Gb FTTH and was supplied the F3000 router. We transferred our old copper phone line to VoIP (SIP and RTP) so the house phone connected into the RJ11 jack at the rear of the F3000.
It was always my intention to install a UDM Pro and a couple of AC LR APs for WiFi so this is what I did.
The F3000 phone ports don't work with the router in Bridge mode and switching back will require a call to Eir support to have the phone config re-sent to the router.
I found a couple of useful threads on here and a Blog online and did some reading up on the SIP protocol to try get a handle on things.
As suggested above I connected the F3000 WAN port to one of the LAN ports on the UDM. Outgoing calls worked straight away no problem but incoming calls didn't unless I made an outgoing call, incoming calls then worked for about 10 minutes afterwards then stopped. The blog said some ports needed to be forwarded to the Eir box and that it was necessary that the Eir box WAN port should be set to either a fixed IP or to DHCP (with Fixed IP set in the UDM - see below). Along with this the DNS in the WAN config in the Eir box must be set to Eirs DNS or nothing will work. You can set what ever DNS you like on the UDM.
Once that side is done the following steps were needed. On the UDM find the F3000 in the Devices section on UniFi. In settings for the device (F3000) tick the Fixed IP Address box which will always give it the same IP. This is only if you set the Eir WAN to DHCP.
On the UDM head to Settings and then to Port Forwarding and configure as in the pic below. The posts here and the Blog said SIP required port 6050 to be forwarded (6051 is for secure SIP) RTP requires ports 10000 to 10100 so I set all of those. Unfortunately this didn't work for me as incoming calls still never arrived.
In the phone config on the F3000 it shows port 5080 was used to contact the Eir PBX so I forwarded that port and everything worked ! It's been 3 days now and incoming calls sill work fine.
The UDM will obviously change the WAN IP dynamically in the above table.
Hopefully this helps someone in a similar scenario and thanks to the posters here and to the owner of the Blog post for the valuable information.
Cheers !
