I am afraid but you'll have to do that, if you want to receive any
help here. Exim3 is as dead as dinosaurs. Just forget your exim 3
configuration (if it is not too complex) and start from a standard
exim 4 conf, modifying it to your setup.

You probably forgot to add exon.dyndns.org to your local domains
list, and so it got routed by your dnsrouter instead of going down to
your local user router.
