Did you HUP the daemon?

-bt won't help you - it merely tests the routing of the address (and
there's no message involved - so there are no headers to test). You
need to actually send a message, e.g.

exim -d12 00@???
To: 00@???

Testing
.

If you want to, you can add -N to this. That will inhibit any actual
delivery.
