Since you are looking at hostnames a lot, I'll remind you of the
*COMPILE* time option "CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_NODE".
src/EDITME says something like:
# In some installations there may be multiple machines sharing file systems,
# where a different configuration file is required for Exim on the different
# machines. If CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_NODE is defined, then Exim will first look
# for a configuration file whose name is that defined by CONFIGURE_FILE,
# with the node name obtained by uname() tacked on the end, separated by a
# period (for example, /usr/exim/configure.host.in.some.domain). If this file
# does not exist, then the bare configuration file name is tried.
# CONFIGURE_FILE_USE_NODE=yes
