I take it you did a "all mail sent my smarthost; no local mail" setup, then.
Even better is if you set up Exim4 to have all email sent to the smarthost via
SMTP over TLS [assuming the smarthost has that available.]
I used "Internet site; mail is sent and received directly using SMTP"
and then set 127.0.0.1 for "Ip address to listen on for incoming SMTP
connections"
I used a Linode guide at

Last suggestion I have as you haven't mentioned it:
install 'logcheck'
Because the number one thing you want to know is if anything /odd/ is going on
with your server, you don't want to have to read through all the logs
yourself, and you only want the logs that stand out -- and that's what
logcheck does. It'll send you an email of just the logs that are "odd".
You will have to make some custom filter rules to get rid of any "noise", but
after working that out it's really a great thing to have, and it'll give you
peace of mind... and that's I think what you're actually looking for in asking
what else to set up security-wise.
Yes, that was the goal of my email.
Thank you.
