When and from where do you get that error? Is it a bounce message?

You would get that error if your client or Exim tries to send mail to a
non-existant address and then proceeds with DATA even though the address
was rejected. The ' looks suspect. Please tell us the exact steps you
performed before you got that error.

What did you intend to achieve by adding those lines? Did you add both
lines or just the "authenticated = *" bit?
authenticated = * tests whether the client authenticated, e.g. sent
username and password, before transmitting the mail. It's possible that
by changing the configuration you change what Exim considers local mail,
and thus doesn't get scanned.

I run Exim4 on Debian too, and I have no vexim-acl-check-rcpt.conf.
Where did it come from? Can you post it in its entirety?
What other related packages have you installed?

Please post back with full details, and someone will be happy to help.
