What's the direct cause of them not leaving your network? What does the log
say?

Don't you mean line 3 (counting from line 1)? Line 2 should contain the user
name, uid, and gid of the process executing exim (exim/Debian-exim in the

Those lines marked with "*" are deleted/replaced header lines. Isn't there a
non-deleted Sender: line?

I think we need more information; more of your configuration and log output.
Also try
$ exim4 -bh -d+all <IP address of "host other than the gateway">
which lets you simulate an SMTP connection from that host.
