Hello,
Exim, does use #!/bin/sh. However bash can provide /bin/sh (Run
"dpkg-reconfigure dash" to enable or disable), and bash5 is afaict
buggy, it is not /bin/sh-compliant. This specific bug severly breaks
scripting. It is not limited to exim, e.g. any debconf using package
has a good chance of breaking.
