Do I need an MX hostname? There are so many unknowns that I don't know where to begin.

Yes, you need a MX hostname and reverse DNS. Set the reverse DNS
hostname to the HELO hostname your SMTP server uses, as well as your MX
hostname.


About the rest: Take a look at http://www.exim.org/docs.html and make
sure your mailserver can not be abused as an open relay (spam-sender)!
