Hi, James
I'm answering because I use both Exim and SquirrelMail, and don't have
you're problem. I am NOT an Exim expert; if I have anything wrong I'm
sure I'll soon be told!

I can only see one thing wrong with your exim configuration:
accept hosts = 127.0.0.1
what you want to do is to check for a host not sending by TCP/IP, i.e.
(from the documentation).
# Accept if the source is local SMTP (i.e. not over TCP/IP). We do this by
# testing for an empty sending host field.
accept hosts = :
However, something else troubles me, and that's the entry in your
reject.log
H=mail.somename.name (
www.somename.name) [ip_addr] F=<adm@???> rejected RCPT <somemail@???>: relay not permitted
If that someone is using SquirrelMail then their IP address should show
as 127.0.0.1 and the entry is more like
2011-08-07 11:51:24 1Qr5Rc-0002Zs-Lv <= somebody@??? H=(craybox.com) [127.0.0.1] P=esmtp S=755 id=754bc2ba5a6d7ced311e6410b9c81eea.squirrel@???
In particular, the IP address recorded by Exim is 127.0.0.1; only
SquirrelMail will note (if you have its logging turned on) the IP
address of the sender.
I suspect your SquirrelMail configuration is faulty and that, of course,
is beyond the scope of this list.
