Your primary problem is that you've configured exim to accept mail for
shaw.ca. You are most definitely not providing Internet mail services
for your cable provider, so take shaw.ca out of your local domains
list/file first.

That way the smarthost router will kick in and send the mail out via
whichever servers it's configured to talk to.

The comments about Debian do stand to a certain degree, however - you
should always start by reading the docs that come with the package
you've installed, which would have directed you to the debian-specific
mailing list. The residents there would be very happy to help, or to
pass you up here as necessary.

More generally it would have helped if you'd stated your OS and version
of Exim, too.
