Is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx routeable from the Exim server? Try 'telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 25' from a shell prompt. Seems likely that it's not. As for why it isn't - you'd need to look at the network topology. Are both servers behind the same NATing firewall, perhaps, and the external IP for the Exchange server isn't routeable from the inside, or does the firewall just eat the packets?
