Thus telling exim to only listen on an interface local to the machine
(i.e. not network-facing).

and now it's not listening on interfaces that aren't connected to
anything outside of the machine.

Exim's doing exactly what you asked it to. If you want to be able to
receive connections from other machines, why did you tell it to only
listen on an interface that can't do that?
