Party starts and ends here, let's see :-)

There seems to a problem with ipv6 addressing (I wonder why is you Exim4 
using such address) and the message cannot be delivered because of that 
("Network is unreachable").

I would try to disable ipv6 in Exim4 unless you can properly handle the new 
protocol, of course. I don't know Exim4 but Google suggests it can be done by
setting "disable_ipv6 = true" at the config file. But this is Debian and 
Debian has its own way for doing things :-) so better wait until someone in 
the know can confirm this point or is able to facilitate a proper solution.

And now it retries with ipv4 which seems to succeed (message is delivered 
to the recipient "keir@example.org)".

I wonder if these entries are from a different session because there's a delay 
of 8 minutes between these and the first ones.

Anyway, there's something I miss from the logs and is the lack of Dovecot, 
there is no single line about Dovecot, I wonder if you have configured it 
in the proper way. Configuration samples can be found here:

How are you reading your e-mails? Where are the files stored? How is Dovecot 
configured? Is it pointing to the right path from where to read the user mailbox?
