"localhost" may resolve to ::1 too, is visible in your example:

> [mihamina@recette53 ~]$ rpm -aq | grep exim
> exim-4.72-4.el6.x86_64

> [mihamina@recette53 ~]$ telnet localhost 25

The ::1 source address is not in your lists of allowed to use your host
as a relay.

And: local_domains is not related to the list of allowed senders. You
should check the hostlist relay_from_hosts = …, this list contains a
list of hosts allowed for relaying. (The name relay_from_hosts is not
hard coded, it depends on the ACL settings, but the example configs use
this name.)

Probably

    hostlist relay_from_hosts = <; 127.0.0.1; ::1


helps. Or disable IPv6 globally or just prevent exim from binding to
::1.
