This is a textbook example of a questions that omits almost every
information that might enable people to actually help you.

For the record /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template is 79161 bytes in current
buster and 80979 bytes in current bullseye and sid, so if it has become
"a lot larger", I can confirm that there is "something wrong" on your
system. I regret that I cannot confirm anything else.
