Sounds to me like you are still running a sendmail daemon.

Try 'telnet x.x.x.x 25' and show us what banner you receive.

Connected to www.kulika.org.

That's definitely not Exim.

The command 'sockstat -4l' will show you the name of the daemon which is
listening on port 25, and its process ID.

Kill it, then restart the exim daemon.
