I get the same error with those commented out.

The options I have enabled in the "main configuration section" are:

local_domains = localhost:necgate
local_domains_include_host = true
local_domains_include_host_literals = true
never_users = root
host_lookup = *
host_accept_relay = 127.0.0.1 : ::::1
host_auth_accept_relay = *
trusted_users = mail
smtp_verify = true
gecos_pattern = ^([^,:]*)
gecos_name = $1
smtp_accept_queue_per_connection = 100
freeze_tell_mailmaster = true
received_header_text = "Received: \
         ${if def:sender_rcvhost {from ${sender_rcvhost}\n\t}\
         {${if def:sender_ident {from ${sender_ident} }}\
         ${if def:sender_helo_name {(helo=${sender_helo_name})\n\t}}}}\
         by ${primary_hostname} \
         ${if def:received_protocol {with ${received_protocol}}} \
         (Exim ${version_number} #${compile_number} (Debian))\n\t\
         id ${message_id}\
         ${if def:received_for {\n\tfor <$received_for>}}"
receiver_try_verify = true

Do you see anything that looks wrong?

Just for curiosity's sake I tried to send a message to the internet with
Knoppix (different machine) and it has the same issues.

Thx,
Bart

Try this: comment out the qualify_domain and primary_hostname settings.
  They should look like this:

# qualify_domain =
# primary_hostname =

Then restart exim and try again.
