It is - here's how to find out

root at romulus:/etc/exim4# grep UPEX4 exim4.conf.template
UPEX4CmacrosUPEX4C = 1

Looking in /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated (never touch this file by 
hand) there is a block which runs something like

.ifndef MAIN_LOCAL_DOMAINS
MAIN_LOCAL_DOMAINS=@:localhost:
.endif

What gets put in that MAIN_LOCAL_DOMAINS= line is whatever is in the 
dc_other_hostnames variable in update-exim4.conf.conf

Make your line in update-exim4.conf.conf read somethine like

dc_other_hostnames='localhost:hostname:example1.org:example2.org:example3.org'

When you've edited that file run

invoke_rc.d exim4 restart
