This sounds strange, since tls_advertise_hosts is usually set via a
macro:
.ifdef MAIN_TLS_ENABLE
.ifndef MAIN_TLS_ADVERTISE_HOSTS
MAIN_TLS_ADVERTISE_HOSTS = *
.endif
tls_advertise_hosts = MAIN_TLS_ADVERTISE_HOSTS

Can you please check whether MAIN_TLS_ENABLE is really set in
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated and whether
MAIN_TLS_ADVERTISE_HOSTS may be set to some undesireable value?

I suspect that you are using split config while editing the non-split
config file.

Greetings
Marc
