Re-read the error-message. Its says "Cant authenticate - unkknown
condition pam".. The exim binary you are using doesn't understand pam,
regardless of what the debian package maintainer says.

Nope, those look like appropriate settings for what you are trying to
do. Sending to local domains is not considered 'relaying', and does not
require relay permission. Relaying is sending from non-local IP
address, to non-local domains, which becuase you can't authenticate
(becuase your exim doesn't seem to support pam), you can't relay.
