exim not sending mail

[patrick q <rpmq@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I'm trying to config exim|procmail|mutt with a DSL connection to the
internet, single workstation.  

I've managed to setup so I can receive mail ok (to patrickq@mts.net), 
and send internally but can't send externally, exim just queues the 
mail and logs with error:

2001-08-09 12:08:02 rpmq@yahoo.com T=remote_smtp defer (-44): retry
time not reached for any host

I ran eximconfig choosing 'Smarthost' and the defaults.  The only thing
that I can think of is an authentication problem, I haven't entered
username/password anywhere, and there is no /etc/exim/password file.  I
don't know how or where to enter this info anyway.

I tried the exim manual but it's painfully apparent that I have no clue
:-(

I'd be really grateful for some advice!

patrick.
