I suspect you may be the first real user to try Exim with GnuTLS.
Support for GnuTLS was a very recent addition. I tested it myself, and
it seemed to work, but I am pretty ignorant about it.

I don't recall any problems with that on my system (Solaris 8). I
installed /dev/random so that I could test it, and although it grumbled
once about lack of entropy (this is a very quiet system), it mostly
seemed to work.
First suggestion: run Exim with debugging turned on (-d) and see if that
gives you any useful information. It should at least say things about
generating the parameters.
