Lazyweb - Exim4 part two
It now works.
What was really useful was creating a new server ('droplet') on Digital Ocean, putting just fail2ban and exim4 on it, then seeing that it worked. Total cost of a new server for an hour... less than a cent. Quite remarkable.
That led to purging and reinstalling them on the real server, and it works :)
