(test.com is a registered domain belonging to an existing company;
example.com is one of the domains explicitly reserved to be safe to use
in examples).

This is the sort of setup which the stock configuration supplied with
Exim does really well. You'd put example.com into the local_domains
domainlist and the internal IP address block of the allowed senders into
the relay_from_hosts hostlist.

Those are two separate stanzas, because there are two separate verbs
("accept", twice) despite being written as one block. Did you mean:

  accept sender_domains = +whitelist_domains
         hosts = +whitelist_hosts
     set acl_m_spam_bypass = 1
     endpass


?

I really hope that you meant what I wrote.

This one is also a problem. You're letting anyone who claims to be one
of your whitelisted senders relay mail through you. Consider, at a very
minimum, adding: authenticated = *

The configure.default provided with Exim is sane and safe; that should
be your reference point. Every time you make a change to ACLs from
those in the default, you should understand what and why. ACLs are very
powerful, but that power comes at a cost: it's possible to get it wrong
with bad consequences.
