The child process has terminated without writing status back to the
parent. It has probably crashed. Is dmesg reporting crashed Exim
processes?

Which version of Exim? Any patches? How configured?

Because the delivery process is dying.

This is a large topic. How about you tell us where you got in

https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-address_rewriting.html

and what parts are causing you problems, so that we can help you and fix
the documentation to better help others in future?

To be clear: a server under your control is returning "relay not
permitted" to Outlook, for a domain which it should be accepting?

My first suspicion is that DNS is configured to point the domain at your
servers but you haven't configured it as a local-domain or
relay-for-domain in either of the relevant domainlists.
