I hope the rest wasn't important. I didn't see it.

So you cannot connect to 199.133.48.254. This does not seem to be an
Exim problem, but some kind of networking problem. From here, I can
connect, though the server is clearly paranoid:

$ telnet 199.133.48.254 25
Trying 199.133.48.254...
Connected to 199.133.48.254.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 *******************************************************************************

Have you tried the network testing tools such as ping and traceroute?
Have you tried "telnet 199.133.48.254 25" ?
