I always use a smart host, so I'm not the best one to tell you.  Here's what I
would do in your shoes, though:

1) (The hard way) Read all the exim documentation you can find.  Modify the
exim files by hand.

OR

2) (The easy way) dpkg-reconfigure exim.  Of the five? options choose the one
that best fits your situation.  I.e. _don't_ tell it to use a smart host.
