Exim's default configuration will send out mail using the 'dnslookup'
router and will not relay mail. You could configure it to listen on the
local loopback interface easily as i remember it will bind to any
interface by default. Look up 'local_interfaces' in the docs.

Well, if all you want is something to push mail to a smarthost, 'ssmtp'
might be a better choice. It's configuration file has 4 options, so
there's nothing to mess up.

Give that a shot too. Exim might be too 'feature rich' for your needs.
