You have dealt with "outgoing" relaying, but not "incoming" relaying.
You need to add
relay_domains = dbm;/usr/exim/domainlist
This will allow arbitrary hosts to relay to those domains.

Which DBM library are you using? If it is one that uses just a single
file (i.e. NOT ndbm) then you can just build the new file with a
temporary file name, and use "mv" to rename it into place on the fly.
If there are two files to rename, there is a window of time during which
the DBM database is inconsistent.
