(hint: when giving fancy domain name examples instead your real ones,
it's recommended to use "example.com" (".org" or ".net") to avoid
problems with routing)
SMTP session seems to be going okay, message is accepted and Exim should
be now in charge of the e-mail.
Okay, now the next step I'd do is reading from Exim's logs to discover
what has been happening with the message (rejected, removed, on-hold,
pending, deferred, unroutable...), but Exim logs are under "/var/log/
exim4/*", take a look at files in there.
