I ran exim with the -d option and saw that it was indeed trying to connect to port 25, not 587. I suppose I made some error related to the Debian specific config system, as Marc has pointed out. Unfortunately even after I convinced it to use port 587, it still doesn't work, failing with "530 5.5.1 Authentication Required". If people think this probably a Debian related issue, I'll take it to the Debian list.
