Right. And this is easy enough to do.

I think you mean he needs to configure exim4 to use a smarthost, namely,
the ISP's smtp server.
Here are the steps I'd follow:
First, 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config', to specify the appropriate
smarthost. (Information he has to have if mozilla mail is working.)
Then, if that doesn't work, read the error logfiles in /var/log/exim4/,
to see if you're getting rejected by the ISP. If you are, you may need
to specify a username and password, which is done by manually editing
/etc/exim4/passwd.client according to the instructions in that file.
