As far as I am aware there is no need for a configure.default; you need
a configure file that is the current configuration, and that's it. So
unless configure.default is also your active configuration, or you simply
wish to have a reference config easily available, you can delete it.

Possibly because your exim was compiled to use /etc/exim/configure, or
some other name, as it's configuration file? Just a guess! Try invoking
exim with a specific configuration file.

Look in spec.txt in the sources/doc directory, get the excellent Exim 4
book (by Philip Hazel) or look on the exim.org website for the indexed html
or PDF documentation.
