Sorry, maybe I wrote it wrong: question is more to inquire if Exim
checking any internal flags or status that make it different from use
"telnet [host] 25" on command line. I dont understand why I could
telnet-by-hand with immediate successful connection/no slow connect as
soon after I saw the error in the log tail.

Is any tip for how to take other debug steps or a way to "coax" exim to
see what I see? Thank you for response, I do not mean to bother but this
problem is very hard to understand.
