For that kind of setup, you basically need to instruct Exim4 to act as a client mailer which connects to the remote server (your ISP mail server) and provides the required authentication data (smtp auth) so Exim4 can be able to relay e-mails to remote servers through your ISP. Kumar already gave you a guide to setup Gmail as smarthost but it should be the same for your ISP, even easier if it does not use SSL (smtps) for the outgoing connections.

Exim4 configuration with rewriting for smarthost
For a week I have been searching without success for a guide to configuration of Exim4 for a personal system which utilizes the smarthost of an isp to handle outgoing mail and a web hosting service to host a web site. In this scheme -- which I think is not atypical -- three different user names are involved, as well as a hostname which is not a FQDN. Here are the particulars: %%% (1) software: = Debian Squeeze = mta = Exim4 = mua = mutt (2) localhost: = hostname = beepbeep = username = wec (the initials of user Wile E. Coyote) (3) isp mail servers: = isp smarthost = smtp.roadrunner.net = isp pop3 server = pop3.roadrunner.net = mail is fetched by getmail from: (1) the pop3 server of the isp, and (2) from the pop3 server of the web hosting outfit = mail username = wileecoy...@roadrunner.net = mail password = hungry = In order to agree with the web site, outgoing correspondence should have the From: address wi...@acme.com (and not w...@acme.com, and not wec@beepbeep). (4) web site hosted by a web hosting outfit: = URL = www.acme.com = mail address associated with the web site = wi...@acme.com = reply-to address for web site correspondence = wi...@acme.com %%% -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

To the best of my knowledge, using an ISP to relay is covered in this tutorial for GMail, but should be adaptable to your situation: http://wiki.debian.org/GmailAndExim4 Apologies if this wasn't what you expected; but in general, one of the cases of exim4-config s what you'd want, to the best of my understanding.
