Where? In your RCPT ACL? (this would be the normal place)
BTW, you might be better off replacing the two entries sbl.spamhaus.org
and cbl.abuseat.org with sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org.

You run an example SMTP session through it.

Yes, assuming you put the ACL rules into your RCPT ACL, because you didn't
run through an SMTP session up to that (RCPT) point. After doing exim -bh,
you need to do (e.g.):
HELO test
MAIL FROM: <>
RCPT TO: <someuser>
and then you should see the "message" being blocked, if the host is listed
in one of the blacklists you are using.
