The changes suggested by you will be committed to exim's experimental
branch shortly.

I have the following comments:

I have changed this to Exim 3 and exim4, to be consistent with the
existing documentation.

I do not like to suggest reverting to exim 3. exim 3 is gone.

New wording:
 This works only one-way: Exim4 can handle exim 3 spool but not
 vice-versa. If you reject this option, you need to move the messages
 yourself or they will never be delivered.

According to the developer's reference, template type error is not
ready to be used yet.

The package name is Exim4. I'm going to keep this in the debconf
templates.

"smarthost" is rather more special than "relay", so I'd vouch to keep
the better fitting special term here.
