Ohh. I hope that doesn't mean that you have local people submitting email
via unsecured SMTP.

You can ask Exim to not use TLS for delivery, which might be better. Use
hosts_avoid_tls for this purpose. Of course, if you ONLY have Exim
delivering to your Exchange server, then it won't make any difference.

BTW, you have an out of office reply configured, but it's not using a null
sender!
