That is the problem right there. From my machine:
# telnet 213.10.168.112 25
Trying 213.10.168.112...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host
There is nothing exim can do about this. There is a firewall between
me and you. Hey, wait a minute:
# telnet 213.10.168.112 22
Trying 213.10.168.112...

Aha. This is an ADSL account at the Dutch provider 'planet'. They
filter out port 25 for all their ADSL customers to prevent abuse.
If I remember correctly you need to configure mailrelay.planet.nl as
the (not 'a', _the_) secondary MX for the domain. Talk to Planet
Internet for the exact details, they might need to configure their
mailrelay for your domains as well.
