Err, ping, traceroute, telnet and wireshark?? If it's a connection
problem, those should be all the tools you need to identify where the
problem is.

If it's a data transfer/protocol problem, rather than a connection
problem, then a bit more info would help identify the best tool for the job.

If the connection is succeeding but the message isn't getting
transferred, run exim in debug mode on that message. How to do it is all
in the docs, but it's not the sort of detail I carry about in my brain
with its ever-diminishing storage capacity.
