Relaying is denied by default even for the localhost...
Edit your exim's configure and look for the line

# host_accept_relay = localhost

and uncomment it.
Add other machines to this list by using a colon delimiter eg

host_accept_relay = localhost : 1.2.3.4 : some.name.here : /full/file
							  ^^^^^^^^^^^
That can be the full pathname of a file that is readable by the user exim
runs under and has the different hosts, one on each line. (the preceeding
directories must all be readable by the user exim runs under.)
