I presume you mean in the case

MX -> name -> two IP addresses, one v4 and one v6

but not in the case

MX -> two names, one has A and one has AAAA

where of course the MX preferences will determine the order.

Is it worth adding an option to Exim specially for this, when your v6
friends can achieve what they want by suitable MX records? I need more
convincing...
