Erm...? :-)

No, it shouldn't. It's entirely possible to (want to) install an
exim4-config package on a machine that doesn't run exim4 - for instance
in order to examine the configuration before upgrading the machine to
the exim4 packages using that configuration.

exim4-base correctly depends on a package providing one of the virtual
packages exim4-config{,-2}. The requirement is that installing exim4
ensures that an appropriate configuration is installed, not vice versa.
