An "aknowledged father" is anyone who has been proved biologically to be the father.
A "presumed father" is a number of things, including a man who was married to a woman who gave birth to a child during the marriage, whether or not it is biologically his.
Both are subject to paying child support.
As a "presumed father", a DNA test proving the child is not yours, does not absolve you of having to pay child support. Proving who the biological father is will not help you either, since you assumed legal responsibility for the child by signing the birth certificate. If your ex's new husband opts to legally adopt the child, you can be absolved of having to pay future support, but you may (not always) still owe for any support up to the point the child was adopted. Both you and he would have to sign documents to do this, and your name will no longer appear on the birth record. He has to opt to do this, you can't seek legal action to force him to. Also, your ex may be able to go into a child support office and file a waiver absolving you of all or a portion of the support currently owed directly to her, but any amounts owed to the state for their fees/expenses cannot be waived. This only applies to the support already owed, not future support, but the waiving process can be done more than once. Again, she has to be willing to do this, you can't legally make her do so. Support is based in part on both your income amounts, and the income of your ex wife (and possibly her spouse). If yours has gone down or hers has gone up since the time of the support agreement, you might be able to have your monthly amount decreased by asking for an income review. This won't affect child support already owed, but can decrease future monthly amounts. As for your rights, you voluntarily entered into what is essentially a legal contract making you responsible for the child by signing the birth certificate and becoming the child's legal father.
