That message is not from the relay server (smarthost), it is from Exim.
Neither the sender nor the reciepient is someone that Exim handles
locally, so it thinks (correctly) that you are trying to relay though it.

Somewhere in your configs should be a line like:

hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1

Add your computer's IP to it, like:

hostlist relay_from_hosts = 127.0.0.1 : <IP-Address>

Then be sure to either restart or HUP Exim.
