Why the Cc:? Are you afraid that we don't read our mailing list?

Sending and listening are two different things.

That one shows that your daemon listens on Port 25. If you want it to
listen on a different port, setup /etc/default/exim4 to listen on that
other port. You need the -oX option, and to give exim the path to the
pidfile then, otherwise the init script will explode in your face.

Your config looks fine for sending to Port 2525. I don't get why you
chose to ditch the entire automatic configuration just to change the
target port, but that's of course your prerogative.

Since you're consistently mixing up mail transmission and mail
reception, I'd like to suggest to either think more to get clear about
what you want, or to describe your goals more clearly.
