'exim4' implies Debian, so best to ask on the debian-speciifc
Exim list.

Meanwhile, grep your conf file(s) for 'daemon_smtp_ports'
to insure you haven't gotten port 80 in there by accident.

Also - hazarding a guess... do you perhaps have the Exim user
'owning' or invoking an httpd daemon?

Some form of web-configuration interface, perhaps?

Or just Apache's ownership mis-assigned in general?

HTH,
