Vlad and Andrew,
thanks so much for the tip on the "lmtpd -a" - that certainly did
allow mail to flow to the expected mailbox. Thanks so much.
I'm definitely making progress thanks to the help here. I'm stuck
getting sasl authentication though. As I understand it cyrus_sasl
uses it's own (Berkley?) database so I can manage users without
them having system accounts. Certainly I've been using
saslpasswd2 to set the user passwords but I'm unable to configure
this.
If I uncomment any of the "Authentcate against cyrus-sasl" options
I get an error when running update-exim4.conf:
root@blmail:~# update-exim4.conf
2014-02-14 14:54:28 Exim configuration error in line 849 of
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp:
authenticator cram_md5_sasl_server: cannot find
authenticator driver "cyrus_sasl"
Invalid new configfile
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp, not installing
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp to
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated
If I don't use any encrypted passwords I can log in, work with
mailboxes, receive mail but not send (relay not permitted which I
suspect is so as to not be an open relay..?)
What do I need to do to authenticate with the cyrus_sasl db? Why
would the authenticator driver "cyrus_sasl" not be available? Do
I need to enable that somewhere?
I've read so many conflicting pages I've completely confused
myself. Maybe I should be looking at TLS/SSL now...
thanks again

For starters, comment out everything related
to tls/ssl. You can get thet working later when everything else
is OK. There's no need for TLS and Auth on LMTP. I think Andrew
is right, just fix the quotes in cyrus.conf
lmtp cmd="lmtpd -a" listen="localhost:lmtp"
prefork=0 maxchild=20

I usually set the key to be readable by group
mail, and ensure that users cyrus and Debian-exim are members of
group mail.

I think it is not related.
