FWIW there's a detailed guide to installing and configuring Exim on
FreeBSD here:
http://jez.hancock-family.com/index.php?/archives/67_Installing_And_Configuring_Exim_On_FreeBSD.html
the emphasis of the guide is moving from Sendmail to Exim and
configuring Exim for Authenticated SMTP (ASMTP), although there are notes in the
guide regarding what you can safely ignore if you don't wish to do
ASMTP.
Good luck.
