Everything is working fine, I can receive email and send it fine, except if I try and send email to people on my ISP. The problem is that outgoing emails have their addresses rewritten as @ihug.co.nz, and my mail system classes these emails as local, so it tries to deliver them on my machine and fails.

In the exim directory is the complete documentation. I believe it's 'spec.txt'. It's 277 pages long.
However, in your case, I would rerun eximconfig and look at my answers. Keep option 2 but there will be some questions after that will probably solve your problem.
