Are you positive that it's actually Exim that's running on that
machine? By any chance is there a firewall with an SMTP proxy in front
of it?

Do you have 'smtp_banner = "SMTP service ready"' set in your
configuration? If not, you're looking at the wrong configuration; the
machine in question resolves as 64.3.83.254. Either that's the wrong
machine, or Exim is not really running, or you may have a firewall
proxy.
