Then it schould work from ANY place with ANY mailaddress because you're authenticating directly to the server. You have configure exim to do use authentication with passwd file /etc/exim4/passwd.client. Just add one line: your_smarthost:your_login:your_password With the default exim4 configuration of debian this should be enough.
