exim's default configuration queues mail until a connection is
established, then sends. Now, you want to run eximconfig as root and
set up as a satellite system. The smarthost is your ISP's outgoing
mail server.
If you want incoming mail to go to your system mailbox, check out
fetchmail. If you make your configuration systemwide in
/etc/fetchmail.conf, fetchmail will start a daemon at boot and check
on whatever interval you have set. The fetchmail documentation is
pretty good and has some good examples in /usr/share/doc/fetchmail
