Yes, I know I had not given enough details - mainly because I do
not have it myself.
Is there any debug setting, which tells me, what exim will send
to my ISP's mail server?

The log file said, the ISP's mail server was complaining about the
domain in the AUTH part. Maybe it checks the domain because the
local part is not equal to the registered users name.
Well, I have no idea - and I think the ISP will not officially
support Linux - only Outlook a.s.o. :-(

Thank you so far (now I know who ph10 is [1] :-)
