This is your mistake. You are denying everything for which you do not set
RELAYCLIENT which is not what you want.
Add another entry to /etc/hosts.allow:
tcp-env:ALL
This will allow all other hosts to deliver mail to you (after being
checked against /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts) and only the ones
in your original entry will be able to relay.
