I've changed this line to read:

host_accept_relay = 127.0.0.1 : ::::1 : 10.0.0.0/8

Outgoing mail now works.

The next problem that I have is that my email address on the outgoing messages
shows as:

muser@machinename.markhobley.yi.org

I need this to read muserbox@hotpop.com

Just take a look at the exim "standard" configuration that comes with
Debian Linux.
This file reads the contents of the file /etc/email-addresses (pairs
of "local" username and "external" eMail address) and this rewrites
the addresses.
The correspondig lines of the exim.conf file are:

begin rewrite
*@server.domain.tld ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail} bcfrF


For additional information take a look at the exim docs.

Christian
