So then you need to find out why deliveries are queued instead of
delivered immediately.
1) Look at the mainlog to see whether there are any clues there as to
why new messages are deferred. If no luck there, then
2) Take a close look at what happens when you attempt an SMTP session
yourself with
/usr/local/sbin/exim -d 9 -bs
This requires that you understand how to drive an SMTP dialogue.
