yes and no ;-)
exim_convert4r4 will convert the complete file but requires
handholding (see its manpage). Otoh the Debian-specific configuration
tool (debconf) won't. - It partially parses your existing exim.conf to
guess what you answered to eximconfig eons ago and generates a
configuration roughly equivalent to this one.

You need exiscan-acl for this, i.e. -heavy.

Don't forget the GnuTLS backport.
