Unless I am mis-reading Exim's code (always possible, though I wrote it :-)
you have also set relay_match_host_or_sender. That message is given only
when that option is set, implying that either the host or the sender
must be good. Also the message is supposed to mean that the host failed
a "reject" option. You have only quoted "accept" options above. Are you
sure there aren't some other things in your configuration file?

If not, there is a bug somewhere...
