I'd advise you to read this ^ doc top to bottom, it's pretty comprehensive re 
Debian specific config.

Understand if you haven't already, you must create a macros file either 
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.localmacros for non-split
or /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/000_localmacros for split configuration.

They are not created at install.

The problem is with exim4 domain literals or related (refer previous from Marc 
Haber), not with Debian Pkg-exim4 Macro enabling.
