Notice that you're connecting to two different servers here, one of which
appears to be configured as an outbound relay for you and one which is
apparantly one of Concentric's inbound MX's and will only handle mail for
the domains it knows about.
Make sure that your exim config is punting it's non-local mail to the
correct server for relaying. You should be able to use a router like the
following:
smart_route:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * smtp.quillandmouse.com bydns_a
See the exim spec chapter 28 for details.
