So there is the ALL: PARANOID directive in hosts.deny.

Exim runs from inetd.conf with this line:

#:MAIL: Mail, news and uucp services.
smtp		stream	tcp	nowait	mail	/usr/sbin/exim exim -bs

netstat -atp |grep smtp shows (as root):

 tcp        0      0 *:smtp                  *:*                    
LISTEN      19551/inetd         

Do these hosts you are connecting from have both forward and reverse DNS
records?  This would block them with a line in /var/log/daemon about
refused connections.  If there are no such logs then @home may just
disallow port 25 incoming.
