There it most likely wants the address of your ISP's mail server.

Exim knows nothing about POP. It is a mail transport agent: it listens on
port 25 for incoming mail and delivers outgoing mail to port 25 on the
destination host (or a relay such as your ISP). To get your mail off your
ISP's POP server you need fetchmail.
