Looks good.

"I am still having trouble" is quite unspecific. What works, what
doesn't, how did you test, what does the logfile say?

Does exim advertise TLS?
---------
telnet insert.host.name.here 25
ehlo foo
quit
---------
should contain:
250-STARTTLS

Does TLS work? Install swaks and libnet-ssleay-perl and run
swaks -s insert.host.name.here -tls -q ehlo
