Yes. Read the documentation.

>From the Exim Specification:


| smtp_banner *option*
| --------------------
| 
| Option: smtp_banner
| Type: string
| Default: "see below"
| 
| This string, which is expanded every time it is used, is output as the
| initial positive response to an SMTP connection. The default setting is:
| 
|      smtp_banner = "${primary_hostname} ESMTP Exim ${version_number} \
|        #${compile_number} ${tod_full}"
| 
| Failure to expand the string causes a panic error. If you want to
| create a multiline response to the initial SMTP connection, use `\n' in
| the string at appropriate points, but not at the end.  Note that the
| 220 code is not included in this string. Exim adds it automatically
| (several times in the case of a multiline response).


Quoted section may wrap poorly for your MUA.

Ciao,
