Also, what is in Mailman's smtp and smtp-failure logs and Exim's
exim_main.log?

While this how-to is important, it is only for delivery to Mailman. It
doesn't affect delivery of outbound mail from Mailman.

However, that could be the problem here in that posts are not delivered
to Mailman. If other messages from Mailman are delivered, e.g.
subscription confirmation requests or list welcome messages, then the
problem is likely in delivery to Mailman and that how-to is very
relevant.
