Any ideas?
What do the logs say?
Also, port 465 is SSL on connect, you probably need to tell exim that.
(Or convince the remote server administrators do move to STARTTLS on
port 587.)
I did add tls_on_connect_ports = 465 to exim4.conf.localmacros, which is
supposed to cover the SSL on connect issue.
The log for an unsuccessful mail says:

I use /etc/email-addresses to change garydale to <sending e-mail
address>. Otherwise the e-mail just bounces.
When I change to port 26 and leave everything else the same, the mail
goes through.
