Unfortunately, you don't give any information about your configuration
changes. This is, btw, the reason why noone was able to help you on
IRC. On #exim, it would also have been a good idea to say which
Distribiution you use.

Please refer to http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html for
information how to ask questions without making it unncecessarily hard
to answer them.

To help, we need a lot of information. A good start would be:

exim -bv | grep '^Configuration'
cat /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
Contents of all configuration files changed by you.

Output of exim -bt some-mail-address at domain.example, and if that's
inconclusive, exim -d -bt some-mail-address at domain.example.

Please be advised that I don't have much MySQL experience myself, so
if you didn't goof badly with your changes and have them ignored by
exim, chances are that _I_ cannot help.

Greetings
Marc
