This seems inconsistent. The first log snippet shows that the machine
fails to route mail to that address, with the error 'Unknown user'. It
seems to be a locally-generated error message, not quoting an error
generated in a callout. Yet later you show that the _same_ machine would
try to route mail for 'root@???' to saxon.cornfield.org.uk,
which would have accepted such mail.
Run 'exim -d -bhc 80.229.196.162' on the machine in question
(mail.cornfield.me.uk) and reproduce the SMTP transaction in the log by
hand... 'HELO someone', 'MAIL FROM:<root@???>' and
'RCPT TO:<simonw@???>'. See what it thinks it's doing.
