Hello,

Does not look like you are using unmodified up-to-date exim4-config:
ametzler at argenau:/tmp/EXIM4$ dpkg -x /var/cache/apt/archives/exim4-config_4.86.2-2_all.deb exim4-config_4.86.2-2
ametzler at argenau:/tmp/EXIM4$ grep -rl _environment exim4-config_4.86.2-2
exim4-config_4.86.2-2/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template
exim4-config_4.86.2-2/etc/exim4/conf.d/main/02_exim4-config_options
