Have you updated your exim configuration to send as a valid DNS
resolvable host name, as well as set up DNS for that host name? I think
that is your problem, here.
I have no problems sending email from quite a few hosts, using a similar
path as you describe, but I have configured the local MTA on each box to
send as valid DNS resolvable names:
mshuler@kokopelli:~$ sudo grep -r kokopelli /etc/exim4/
/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf:dc_readhost='kokopelli.pbandjelly.org'
/etc/exim4/email-addresses:mshuler@kokopelli.pbandjelly.org:
michael@pbandjelly.org
mshuler@kokopelli:~$ host kokopelli.pbandjelly.org
kokopelli.pbandjelly.org is an alias for kokopelli.homeunix.org.
kokopelli.homeunix.org has address 10.9.109.79
The above is my laptop. Hope that helps!
