Never used AEL myself but with the old format it should not be very
hard:

exten => _X.,n,Set(CDR(accountcode)=)
exten => _X.,n,Authenticate(something,a)
exten => _X.,n,GotoIf($["${CDR(accountcode)}" > ""]?dial:fail)
exten => _X.,n(dial),Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@trunk)
exten => _X.,n,Hangup()
exten => _X.,n(fail),Playback(notauthorized)
exten => _X.,n,Congestion()

Add prompts and maybe Answer where needed.
