So the message is looping, and from the log extract you gave its a
simple loop where you are passing mail to your smarthost hp-bv.nembv.cz
and its passing it back to you for delivery. Thats a simple
configuration fault, and the question is *who* should be taking
responsibility for finally delivering that address - looks like mailman
is not involved at all.

you should be adding that entry to host_accept_relay (for version 3.00
and above) not relay_domains. Obsolete 2.x versions use a different
variable.
Running a mail system is not a suck it and see process. Exim is
exceptionally well documented, I suggest you read some of that
documentation. Finally you could try asking on the exim list, but you
will need to post the directors/routers config for people to make sense
of it. Exim information, including the (mailman run) mailing list, is
at http://www.exim.org/
