I had used the general one, but tested with outgoing mail. Tough luck.
Result: The cipher being actually used is determined by the sending
side by choosing the first cipher listed in the transport that is
actually supported by the server.
Hence, the order of ciphers in the transport option does matter, while
the order in the general option does not.
There is no problem with the Exim code besides the somewhat suboptimal
default.
