I have the same situation - and it is not related to exim I think. So
far I have identified 7 servers that refuse smtp-connection to one of
our three mail servers while it is not the case with the other two. I
can for example telnet to most of those servers on port 25 from
maties1 and maties2 but not from maties3.

I suspect firewall problems but so far I have not been able to
determine the exact cause. In the mean time I route mail for those
domains from maties3 to the other two to deliver.

Regards
Johann

     "Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a
      trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the
      synagogues and in the streets, that they may have
      glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their
      reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left
      hand know what thy right hand doeth; That thine alms
      may be in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret
      himself shall reward thee openly."       Matthew 6:2-4
