Hello,
 From the error message this sounds like the respective line is placed
the wrong section of the configuration file, with the main options
instead of as a setting for the respective transport.

At least that is the case for me.
(SID)root at argenau:/# exim4 -bP transport remote_smtp | \
  grep require_tls
hosts_require_tls = *
