Which version of Exim, 3.x or 4.x? For Exim 3, it is probable that you
have not properly set the host_accept_relay variable. If your local
network is, e.g., 192.168.5.x, it should look something like this:
host_accept_relay = localhost : 127.0.0.1 : 192.168.5.0/24
If this isn't set up, your exim won't relay messages from your internal
network to your external network, or even from your local host to your
overall network.
Note that I'm still running Exim 3.x, so I can't help you with Exim 4.x,
but I doubt that things have changed much there.
