I see what is happening. Your host name is "rebel" (see /etc/hosts)
and your user name is "me". exim sends the mail out with an envelope
sender of "me@rebel". That's not a valid address, and the server on
"master.debian.org" verifies that return addresses are valid before it
accepts the mail.

Indeed. Put the line
me: ron.l.johnson@cox.net
in /etc/email-addresses.
(that works because of the rewrite rule in your config)
