On your exim server, do some debugging. Run:
exim -bh ip.of.remote.server
You're now interactive with a faked SMTP session from the IP of the
remote server you are testing from. Enter these commands, one line at
a time, substituting the correct values of hostname, sender, and
recipient:
EHLO hostname.remote.server
MAIL FROM:<valid_sender@???>
RCPT TO:<user@???>
At this point, you should see the stanza in the ACL that is causing
your test to get blocked. It really sounds like a verify command
that's blocking this, when it's verifying the recipient. Is
example.com in the +local_domains hostlist? Is example.com in the
+relay_domains hostlist? If you have trouble debugging what you are
seeing, paste it in a message and send it here and we'll help you
figure it out. Please paste all of it, don't pick and choose which
parts you paste as you may inadvertently omit important things. (I
suspect due to the amount of information debug mode makes visible to
you, and the fact that you know your system better than we do, that
you will figure it out quicker than we will, but we're here if you
need help.)
