This shows the message being delivered, from exim's point of view. If
the mail got lost after that point, I have to assume it's the fault of
pmx.abv.bg (assuming that is not also munged) and not a problem on the
sending MTA's side. Assuming it is the sending side under discussion,
there's not much more you can do.

Magic 8 ball says "ask again later".
I am not sure how one could know, given the amount of information
presented, but I don't believe that's the problem. Did the second MTA
get a 5xx at delivery time? Did it get a bounce message later? Do you
have exim configured to reject bounces for some reason?
