A crash while trying to open a hints database, like this, after
rebuilding Exim, almost always means that the version of Berkeley DB has
been changed since you last built Exim, and that the database formats
are incompatible. (BDB has not been very good at backwards
compatibility, either in db formats or in the API.)

Try

rm /var/spool/exim/db/*

That is, wipe Exim's memory by deleting all the hints info. Exim will
gradually rebuild it.
