Your testing only covered the acceptance of mail into the spool by exim.
But your problem is onward delivery from the spool.
Run "mailq" to get a suitable id from the spool. It'll look something
like
"1mGK9N-001iSK-9n".
Force a delivery attempt of this item, with debug enabled:
# exim -d+all -M <id> 2>&1 | tee log
Debug output will got to stderr, so the above captures that.
Have a read through it. You'll see info on all the work that
Exim has to do just to (try to) deliver one message...
With luck, you'll see where it goes wrong and ends up having
failed to deliver.
I noticed that the difference between the two servers was that I'd not
accepted the new template (exim4.conf.template) on the server that still
worked but that I had in the one that broke. When I replaced the
template on the working server, it also broke. I did make a couple of
modifications to the old template (as I recall, to handle StartTLS or
smtps) but copying them into the new one didn't help. Reverting to the
old one template fixed the problem.
The new template seems to be a lot larger than the old one. Something in
it kills my working connection to two different smarthosts.
