Exim has to know about permission to relay. Just having a routing entry
isn't sufficient.

Depending on your ACL config it might be enough to use

    domainlist relay_to_domains = readingroom.com.au


or more general (but may be dangerous)

    domainlist relay_to_domains = @mx_any


But, again, it depends on your ACL.
