unfortunately the exim maintainers haven'd written some message about
this problem. Please try to contact them to ask further to them. I can't
say absolutely nothing related to exim configurations ... :(

We have prepared something for the upload of version 31.2.0.

Yes, it is a problem related to not clearly configured MTA's. The topic
