I think your issue is that Exim does not know that to do with those
emails. It looks at them and decides that they are not for it so it
tries to send them onto the internet. However, the DNS tells it that
itself is the end point for them. Hence it gets confused and tells you
that the MX points to the local host.
What you need to do is to create a router that will route the emails
onto the hosts you have inside your network. See mail hubbing in the
documentation and FAQ.
Hope that helps.
