This might well be your problem - I had mine separate by whitespace
*and* colon :
host_accept_relay = 127.0.0.1 : ::::1 : 10.101.0.0/16:192.168.240.0/24
(I presume that ::::1 is ipv6..)

Looks like it.
You haven't set any of the options like host_reject or
host_reject_recipients ? iirc those are also used in relaying, but your
error message "relaying to ... prohibited by admin" points to
host_accept_relay...
For whatever it's worth, this might be good reading for you:

Disclaimer; it's been a while since I ran exim3... on exim4 now...
Hope this helps (and yes: the fortune *is* random :-)
