Hi Christian -

I can't say what's wrong with this, but if I were in your situation, I'd 
take a copy of all the files in /etc/exim, and run eximconfig.  Tell it 
you want to use a "smarthost", and then look hard at any differences 
between the generated /etc/exim/exim.conf and your backup.

Apply these to your backup, replace into /etc/exim, cook for 30 minutes 
on gas mark 7, and serve with lashings of cheese.

HTH,
