Brendan there is an exim-users mailing list. And it contains huge
threads answering your question:
http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users

If you can't resolve the problem here that's the place to ask.

Here is the archives:
http://www.exim.org/pipermail/exim-users/

Typing ISP into the search box I found this:
[Exim] Relaying at ISP SMTP
http://www.exim.org/mailman/htdig/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20011112/032230.html

And this one:
[EXIM] Directing all the mail to my ISP
http://www.exim.org/mailman/htdig/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-19971117/005532.html

The Exim documentation available on-site is quite comprehensive as well.
