This is a issue different from the one reported in #429617. Please add
your findings to the correct bug report, #429620.

If grep DEBCONF /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template gives output, you did
not accept the changes to the configuration files that were suggested
during installation. After that, you need to repeat your local changes.

If grep DEBCONF /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template is empty, please show
your /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf and the first 40ish lines of
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template

Greetings
Marc
