You have two things going on, I think.
One, you might want to run
eximconfig
I learned yesterday that exim does not play "dpkg-reconfigure"
You are host type 1, I'm sure (answer to 1st question)
Past that, you might need to look at what ports are open on you gateway.
SMTP is 25, so, if you don't have that open on the gateway, or the
mailserver, you will not have much luck!
good luck!
