[Pkg-exim4-users] STARTTLS not being advertised

I have the exim4-daemon-heavy package (and actually its the same problem
with exim4-daemon-light) installed from sarge. I'm having a terrible
time trying to get it to advertise STARTTLS on connect.
When I send email out from this server, it successfully sends email
using TLS to TLS enabled servers. I have generated a certificate using
the exim-gencert script. In my update-exim4.conf.conf file I have the
variable MAIN_TLS_ENABLE set to true. If I understand my
exim4.conf.template correctly, thats all I should need to do.
When I look through my config.autogenerated file, indeed I have the line
'tls_advertise_hosts = *'.
However, when I connect and do a 'ehlo whatever.com', its not
advertised. When I do a 'HELP' I see that STARTTLS is available, but the
server won't let me use it when its not advertised. When I put the
server into debug mode, I see the line in the output:
20896 host in tls_advertise_hosts? no (option unset)
Anyone know where I'm going wrong?
