It goes on to warn that the target must be the rDNS entry for the mail

setting the routing correctly.
Yes.
(I assume that a smarthost would override this, for example), but I
haven't tried it myself. Yet.
I do not understand what you try to do with smarthost.
The important point is "target must be the rDNS entry"

Thank you for this reference. I believe it confirms what I believe to
be the problem, namely verizon must require "|MAIN_TLS_ENABLE = true|"
and "|AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS=yes|" The question is how to
modify the exim4.conf.template file. Note that my system is Etch and
that the Debian installation of exim4 does not include -or at least I
cannot find - exim4.conf.localmacros. I will try again editing
exim4.conf.template.

The line I put in passwd.client is,
"outgoing.verizon.net:my-user-name:my-password", which is my
understanding of the man page instructions. I am attaching the tail of
the mainlog entries which show exim4 obtained an IP address for
outgoing.verizon.net.
The host name in /etc/exim4/passwd.client should not be the alias. You
check the real host name with:
$ host outgoing.verizon.net
$ host outgoing.verizon.net
outgoing.verizon.net has address 206.45.232.12
There is no indication of an alias.
