Do this simple test

telnet 216.187.106.239 25

If that times out (as I suspect it will), you do not have an Exim
problem. You have a connectivity problem. You need to find out why your
host cannot connect to that host's SMTP port (port 25). The host is
currently up. I can connect to it:

$ telnet 216.187.106.239 25
Trying 216.187.106.239...
Connected to 216.187.106.239.
Escape character is '^]'.
