I just tried the extended logging as you suggested, and here's the output of
the last attempt before it gave up (it tried a whole host of yahoo hosts
first). I don't see anything in there that is helping me find the problem.
What other sorts of issues can cause these types of failures? Any other
ideas?

exim -d+all -M 1UkGQN-0002ok-5C 2>&1 | tee logfile
watch it, and see where it stalls. and when it ends, you've got all the
debug output in logfile.
Is it always timing out on the same host? Could be that you have a duff
retry DB, causing it to try the same MX all the time. In theory that message
should try all available MXes for the remote domain in a random order (for
their grouped priority values).
