we're doing a string expansion, which will request a lookup...

08:33:42 4098 |--expanding: $host

the key we're looking up is the destination host for the transport,
"easthope.ca"

this is the DB we're to do the the lookup in
08:33:42 4098 search_open: nwildlsearch "/etc/exim4/passwd.client"
08:33:42 4098 search_find: file="/etc/exim4/passwd.client"

08:33:42 4098 type=nwildlsearch key="easthope.ca" opts=NULL
08:33:42 4098 file lookup required for easthope.ca
08:33:42 4098 in /etc/exim4/passwd.client
08:33:42 4098 easthope.ca in "mail.easthope.ca"? no (end of list)
08:33:42 4098 lookup failed
... and no, it isn't there.
/etc/exim4/passwd.client can be read by Debian-exim and has only
one active line beginning with mail.easthope.ca.
... sounds like that's the right answer, given the file content.
A little further down.
08:33:43 4098 SMTP(closed)<<
08:33:43 4098 Remote host closed connection in response to pipelined DATA
The smarthost refused to continue the conversation?
Correct. Before that close from it, we see:
08:33:43 4098 sync_responses expect rcpt
08:33:43 4098 SMTP<< 550 SMTP AUTH is required for message submission on
port 587
meaning: we wanted it's response to a "RCPT" comamnd we sent it,
and that response was and error code (the 550 value) along with
a comment for humans "SMTP AUTH is required for message submission on port 587".
So we didn't manage to authenticated ourselves to them. In fact, we
didn't event try, probably because that lookup didn't find a match for that
key.
