You've got stuck on the .forward part, when instead it's a Router
problem.

Remove it from those.
Look at why you're defining DCconfig_local instead.

Either set DCconfig_internet or unset DCconfig_local and then set both
DCsmarthost and DCconfig_smarthost. I think. I'm tired and not used to
the config layout which you've posted.
I've a suspicion that this is set on the command-line which invokes
Exim, via the -D option (eg, -DDCconfig_internet is needed).

At this point, you get the rules which are tried, in order, to figure
out how to deliver email.

So, if DCconfig_internet is defined, then you'll try direct deliveries.

If DCconfig_local is set, then you'll explicitly generate the error
which you're seeing.

That's an explicit routing used if DCconfig_smarthost or
DCconfig_satellite is defined, relying upon DCsmarthost being defined.

Here onwards is local delivery rules, then other sections.
Figure out why your setup is defining DCconfig_local, which seems to be
explicitly telling Exim, with this config, that the system should only
accept mail for local delivery and not send any mail out.
