The exim4/dc_local_interfaces now needs changing to something like

Enter a colon- or semicolon-separated list of IP-addresses to listen on.
If using colon separation, you need to double the colons in IPv6 addresses
(e.g. 5f03::1200::836f::::) and add spaces to allow proper parsing.

exim4/dc_relay_nets should be changed to

If there are any, enter them here, separated by colons or semicolons. You
should use  the standard address/prefix format (e.g.
194.222.242.0/24). If you use colons as separators, colons in IPv6
addresses need to be doubled (e.g. 5f03::1200::836f::::/48), and
spaces around the separator colons are needed to allow proper parsing.
