I suggest taking that advice.  There were some changes in the config
file format, and you'll need to adjust, if you have customizations you
want to preserve.  Otherwise, you could just drop in a new configuration
from exim4-config.  It sounds as if you have the latter installed
already.

Another option would be to go back down (e.g., the the last Debian
stable version) to something that works with your old config.

If the previous setup was exim3, you've got a bigger adjustment.

/usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian is the place to start for the
Debian package.  However, it assumes you are familiar with email and
exim4.
