Timo - 
I too am having some trouble with exim, but it sounds like you're 
having one that's easier to fix.  I assume you ran eximconfig 
when you first set things up, and chose something like option 2 
(I believe) - send via SMTP to a smarthost.  That's the setting 
that will work for most people.  In your /etc/exim/exim.conf (or 
/etc/exim.conf for older versions - I run 3.31) you should have 
a line in the routers configuration section that goes:
smarthost:
  driver = domainlist
  transport = remote_smtp
  route_list = "* mail.gmx.at bydns_a"
(using your ISP)

and in the authentication configuration section:
 login:
   driver = plaintext
   public_name = LOGIN
   client_send = ": username : password"

(I'm guessing - this is the most common one, AFAIK) Play with 
these options, and you should have reasonably good luck.
I'm assuming this is your problem - that it won't send mail, 
even when you're connected to your ISP - if the problem is 
something else, let us know.
Good luck,
Steve
