Unless you explicitly make exceptions, that's correct.

The term "incoming" is a bit of a misnomer. To Exim, all mail is "incoming"
first, then gets routed and finally delivered, during which phase
its "outgoing". What you are talking about is more of "incoming mail from
unknown/external sources".

Just read chapter 39 thoroughly. But you seem to be on the right way; a simple

!hosts = +relay_from_hosts

before the "demime = *" line above should suffice, if the hostlist
relay_from_hosts has been set to your internal net, which is also the set of
hosts that is allowed to relay.

I have a sub-ACL which returns accept for authenticated users and local
networks, then use that in multiple places where known users are to be
treated differently, to make the main ACL rules simpler.
