I've always avoided using WHM's Exim config editor because it was too
difficult to try to understand the obscure way it works, and where it put
things. So I can't be much help there.

The quickest way to get it working would be to bypass WHM's editor
altogether and just create your own version of exim.conf in /etc. That will
work fine - just make sure you keep a copy of the file, because on the rare
occasions that cPanel updates Exim with a new version, it will overwrite
your exim.conf. Then you'll just need to copy it back again.
