Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

This is the error:

Setting up exim4-config (4.90.1-1ubuntu1) ...
2018-05-19 09:29:37 Exim configuration error in line 894 of 
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp:
  authenticator gmail_smtp: cannot find authenticator driver "smtp"
Invalid new configfile /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp, not installing 
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp to /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated
dpkg: error processing package exim4-config (--configure):
 installed exim4-config package post-installation script subprocess returned 
error exit status 1

A fresh install of exim4 and its dependencies does not encounter any
errors. I believe the problem lies in the configuration *template* you
had in place, perhaps from a previous install, or maybe you thought that
was the file to configure.

I suggest to purge the installation you have (just save your changes
elsewhere for a while), and install fresh, and only then start
configuring exim4 to your needs. I'd suggest even to run "dpkg-
reconfigure exim4-config" at that point, as that is kind of a small
wizard to get you going. Just don't start by editing the template files
in /etc/exim4.
