Thats your problem.
I commented this out and it did seem to change some things:

# queue_remote_domains = *
I'm getting these errors now from the exim_mainlog:

Believe they are likely emerging as I (following someone's comments in a
weblog) deleted the log files (as exim would recreate them.

I don't think that this evil ISP is blocking port 25.. The IP (209.195.78.66)
doesn't belong to the ISP, but it is the computer where my mailbox resides
(it's outside of my system).
I don't generally have a problem connecting to that IP either.. That is where
requests to mike@??? should go.. (and where I was sending it)

I haven't.. But I'm not sure how to do this either.. I only want to use exim
to send mail, I don't actually want to receive mail locally with it.. It's
actually behind a firewall (which could well be the problem - although that
shouldn't block port 25) I could put exim on an internet visible computer if
this is needed -- I just don't know if that is needed or not..
