Take a look in the contents of /var/log/exim/mainlog. Something is
stopping the command line sendmail interface from working, and you
should be able to see any errors produced there.
Running the following command might give you some error output:
$ /usr/sbin/sendmail broonie@tardis.ed.ac.uk
From: broonie@tardis.ed.ac.uk
To: broonie@tardis.ed.ac.uk
Subject: Test mail du01
This is a test mail.
.
[ie, run "/usr/sbin/sendmail broonie@tardis.ed.ac.uk" and then type in
everything up to the '.'. You should substitute your e-mail address for
mine in the above.

Even if it did help it's probably a bad idea: sendmail is a complex
piece of software and unless you know what you're doing or have
fairly specialised requirements.
