I'd guess that the problem is that you don't have exim setup properly
for address rewriting. See /etc/email-addresses. You want exim to
rewrite to whatever you've agreed with your ISP. Looks like this should
be hartford-hwp.com
I've never done maildrop (if that's what you're doing) but for a normal
home ISP you have e.g.
dtutty:dtutty@porchlight.ca
So that exim rewrite mail from local user dtutty to from
dtutty@porchlight.ca.
Exim then sends this off to my ISP (porchlight.ca) which accepts it,
once it does authTLS (different subject).
