OK, it's a few years now since my exim4 was at that stage, so I'm not
really sure what is necessary...
... but to start with, locate /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf and see
what's in it. There should be an entry which may be empty called:
dc_relay_nets
which should contain network specifications separated by colons and
enclosed in single quotes. My guess for a first try is:
dc_relay_nets='172.24.1.0/24'
on the basis you're using a /24 netmask there. I don't believe that
exim4 by default checks sending domain, From: or anything else in the
message. It is also possible to relay by sending domain specification,
using dc_relay_domains, but that's probably not what you want here.
After the change, run update-exim4.conf and restart exim4.
