Gee, thanks for sending this in private as a separate message, forcing
me to reply a second time.

The issue you are experiencing just shows that you didn't read the
docs about how a pidfile is generated.

|    When -oX is used on the command line to start a listening daemon, the

Hence,

|SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS='-oX 465:25 -oP /var/run/exim4/exim.pid'

will probably do what you want. It starts a daemon that will listen on
ports 465 _and_ 25.
