For testing I can use a command such as "exim -bp" or, as Jeremy
suggested, "exim -d+all -odf person@??? ...".

In normal ordinary use, a message is submitted by a message submission
agent. Ie. a program which runs on localhost and submits a message to
exim on localhost. Exim has the task of sending the message to the
remote smarthost.

From what you have said, root should be able to submit a message via
the MSA just as well as J. Doe. The account using the MSA is no
concern of exim. Correct?

So, back to the earlier puzzle: why does the output from
"exim -d+all -odf ..." appear to stop without a reasonable conclusion?

Or the original conundrum: how should exim be configured for non-TLS
locally and TLS to smarthost?

Thanks,                              ... P.
