Hmmm well have to say I haven't had any trouble with install and config of Exim
particularly from v 4.x onwards. The spec document install instructions are
reasonably clear. I think biggest problem for you is the change in setup from
upgrade change. When you build v4 from scratch the sample makefile does suggest
------
# under a single directory such as /usr/exim. Whatever you choose, the
# installation script will try to make the directory and any superior
# directories if they don't exist. It will also install a default run time
# configuration if this file does not exist.

CONFIGURE_FILE=/usr/exim/configure
-------
when you run make you should find a clean new configure file in the directory
stated in EDITME -> Makefile then you make changes to this original file.

Maybe, particularly as you didn't build original system, you should get make
to create clean new configure file (in whatever directory you want but you
can't move/rename it afterwards without recompiling Exim) then follow Nico's
suggestion to translate your existing v3 config file and then compare the two.
Anything different/added to standard configure you should check in Exim 4 spec
doc to confirm that you want it to be there. I would then add extra things you
need to *new* configure file.

You're almost ready though :-)
