Right,  

someone from outside the LAN is trying to send e-mail.

We control the domain from inside the lLAN 
but exim is rejecting the e-mail because it is originating 
from outside the LAN.

Now is the time time to declare your allegiance!

This means that you will need to setup authentication parameters in your  
configuration file.  Then, those that are trying to connect will have  to 
ensure 
they set the "My Server Requires Authentication" (or something  like that) in 
their e-mail clients.  That way when they attempt to send  a message, the 
e-mail 
client will know it needs to send authentication  information before the 
message 
can be sent.

In my Exim configuration file, I have this:

  accept
    authenticated = *

Then at the bottom of the config file (in my case), you'll need to specify your 
authentication techniques:

begin authenticators

plain:
    driver = plaintext
    public_name = PLAIN
    server_set_id = $2
    server_condition = <condition here>
    server_advertise_condition = true

login:
    driver = plaintext
    public_name = LOGIN
    server_prompts = "Username:: : Password::"
    server_condition = <condition here>
    server_set_id = $1
    server_advertise_condition = true

it depends on them entering a proper username/password to  authenticate.
