Then your MTA (exim4) looks like its working fine.

Can you send a local mail to yourself from mutt?
Can you send a mail to yourself via the internet from mutt?
You should get a message back from your ISP's MTA if it doesn't work
which should provide a clue as to what the problem is.
Could be a setting in your .muttrc.
For example I have:
# Uncomment if some MTA's reject mail :-(
#set use_envelope_from=yes
#set envelope_from_address="username@yourisp.mumble"
But it works fine for me commented, but I think you will need
alternates "username@yourisp.mumble"
Also check /etc/exim4/email-addresses and make sure you are added there.
Post back if still having problems.
