Look in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf (assuming you agreed to a 
single configuration file) for:

 dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1'

and add your LAN IP to the quoted value with a colon e.g. 
'127.0.0.1:1.2.3.4', then run update-exim4.conf as instructed at the top 
of the file. Alternatively, run dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config and tell 
it you want local and LAN interfaces at the appropriate point.
