Probably you've a pretty standard ACL configuration - the message gets
rejected because Exim can't verify the senders address
<test@???>. Exim tries to route a message (route ≠
deliver), but fails. May be you get more details trying „exim -v -bv
test@???“ or even adding „-d-all+route“ as debug option.

So, exim listens on *:smtp. Double check this with „netstat -atnlp |
grep :25“ (if you do not have Linux, the options might differ a bit).

As mentioned in a parallel answer: there might be some firewalling
betweeen you and the server. On the mail server itself, check the output
of „iptables -L -n -v“ (if it is Linux, if you have some other OS the
command will be something else)

Here the logfile entries would help.
