You forgot to mention which version of Exim you're using. I'll assume
you're running woody or sid, and therefore Exim 3.3x.

Please show us the exact command-line used to send email. Using mutt
doesn't count -- you should invoke Exim directly, eg.
$ echo "Subject: test\n\nbody" | exim -dN addr@???
for N in 1 .. 11, depending on how much debugging info you want/need. I
think you have to be root to get maximum debugging. Or a trusted user,
if you feel like configuring that.

That looks like some weird command-line invocation of Exim -- perhaps
your mutt configuration is confused. Which is why I suggest using Exim
directly, and *then* trying to get an MUA working.
