I tried the following:
domainlist relay_to_domains = *
#domainlist relay_to_domains = *
domainlist relay_to_domains =
domainlist relay_to_domains = localhost
domainlist relay_to_domains = cityairlines.net
none of which worked.

This is why I'm trying to get SSL support working; so I can close port 25 and
only allow mail that is authenticated via SSL

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying there, but to use the split
config, you edit your update-exim4.conf.conf file so that the line
"dc_use_split_config='false'" becomes "dc_use_split_config='true'"
For anyone who is curious, here's my update-exim4.conf.conf:
# /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
#
# Edit this file and /etc/mailname by hand and execute update-exim4.conf
# yourself or use 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config'
dc_eximconfig_configtype='internet'
dc_other_hostnames='cityairlines.net:casino-airlines.com:casinoairlines.net'
dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1:206.123.72.157'
dc_readhost=''
dc_relay_domains=''
dc_minimaldns='false'

When I get my problems worked out, I will.
