This looks ok

This should be:
local_domains = localhost
Otherwise a mail from to to an address at your ISP (ie
abuse@centroin.com.br) will go to your computer.

Everything else looks ok.
I put the exim.conf I use at home at
http://tux.creighton.edu/~pbrutsch/exim.conf. I'm on a cable modem at
home, but that's an irrevelant detail since I'm still using POP3 to get
the messages for exim to deliver.
Note, however, that exim doesn't speak POP3. I use fetchmail (a POP3
client) to download the messages. I put an example config file at
http://tux.creighton.edu/~pbrutsch/fetchmailrc. When fetchmail downloads
the message, it will connect to port 25 on localhost, and deliver all
messages it gets to local.user.name@localhost.
In the example config file, be sure to replace local.user.name with your
login ID on your Linux box.
Also note that it's not a good idea to deliver direct from your dialup
line - many people (including me) reject such messages. You should set
exim to send outgoing email via a "smarthost" - I have an example in the
exim config file I pointed you to.
