Find out what's going on with your MTA. You could start with ss -lnt | grep :25 to see what's listening on port 25, if anything, and which address(es) it's listening on. If you don't see anything listening on port 25 at all, then perhaps your MTA is simply not running. Use "systemctl status exim4" or whatever package/service your MTA uses. (I don't use exim4, so I don't know its service name.) If you don't get helpful error messages out of that, try running it as root. Sometimes that gives more information. Also check exim4's configuration, and make sure it has been told to run, and to listen on port 25 of *all* interfaces.
