Exim4 problem



I have a local box which I want to be able to send mail... specifically I want bugzilla to be able to mail people.

I have no idea how to make it a mail server, or if my ISP would even allow it, but I have a dedicated server from http://liquidweb.com/ so I'm pretty sure I can use that as a smarthost, and just relay my mail through there. So I've read some manuals, and run my exim4-reconfigure or whatnot, and I thought I had it... but mail won't get through. I'm pretty sure it's a matter of not authenticating with the smarthost properly, but I'm really at a loss. Not sure exactly what information is useful, but I'm hoping the below is.

Right now I tried the following command

mail -v -s testtest someone@gmail.com

and was greeted with the following

LOG: MAIN

===================
And my exim4 mainlog contains...
