Exim could send outgoing mail out of the box if the destination server can be reached using dns. With many ISPs blocking port 25, a gateway must usually be configured. Of course a MTA does much more than sending outgoing mail, and that requires configuring a service etc... Because of that Exim is not currently packaged to do anything without requiring configuration (in fact, out of the box exim is a symlink to exim-config) , but it would not be hard to allow it.
