I'd use quotes around the login&password...

Did you check that you have:

smarthost:
  driver = domainlist
  transport = remote_smtp
  route_list = "* smtp.mail.yahoo.com bydns_a"

In your routers configuration section?

Also, I quoted mu username and password in the client_send line:

client_send = "^cmatheson3^this_is_my_password"
	

Besides that, my setup is the same as yours and it works (when I use
exim).
