Yes. Did you even *attempt* to read this output and see for yourself
what's happening?

You have "relay_to_domains" set to "*" (matches everything).

Doesn't this sound familiar? Supposedly you changed this setting
earlier today. But unsuccessfully, it would seem. Did you change the
file exim is actually reading? One of those answers must be "no"...
