I may be mistaken (would not be surprised) but it would seem that
what is *not* working properly is [exim].

That said and at risk of being a bit OT, I would ask a question:

Do you really need a MTA such as [exim] for whatever you need to do?

I run Devuan on a Sun Ultra24 workstation and got burned by [exim]
and a botched update a few years ago. As a result, I decided to nuke
it and in its place installed a *much* lighter MTA that worked
wonderfully well, right out-of-the-box. (dma/stable,now 0.13-1+b1)

If interested, see here:

No issues whatsoever with my MTA since then.

As always, YMMV.

Best,

A.
