How do you send mail with Balsa? Do you use your MTA or any function
from within Balsa?

So the MTA is working at least locally.

My first guess is that you didn't set up your MTA correctly. I don't
use Exim, but I'd expect some question about local systems/domains and
a smart host or relay host. These would be things to look up in Exim's
documentation.
