There's a note in the docs (you *did* read them, didn't you?) of
"daemon_smtp_ports" being a respelling of "daemon_smtp_port" (which
is now deprecated. Perhaps 4.43 is old enough that the change
came after that; try the singular.

If that doesn't help, look at the exact command line your init.d
script is starting exim with, add debug flags to it and start it
manually.
