Your Mailman is unable to connect to your outgoing MTA (Exim). Exim is
refusing connection or is not listening on 'localhost' port 25.

Can you

  telnet localhost 25

on the Mailman/Exim box? Presumably Exim is running if you can send
mail to Mailman, but there is probably some Exim configuration issue
causing it to not accept connects from localhost.
