Thanks for the answer. I'm not sure it's a Debian specific problem....
but I can try to ask.

The "daemon_smtp_ports" is not set in my conf files, and there is not
any reference
to "80" or "http" or "www" in my conf files. And, as you can see with my
"PS", the exim
process which is listening on port 80 is not the "smtp listener" but a
process sending an
email.

For the Exim user, there is not problem : exim user is "Debian-Exim" and
Apache user is
"www-data".
The process which is listening on port 80 is not owned by exim, but by
root (which is a
config error... :S). And the program is /usr/sbin/exim4. Apache is not
running at all.
(and there is not any web interface on this box)

w30100:/var/log/apache2# ps auxw | grep 3108
root      3108  0.0  0.0 20024 1724 ?        Ss   Apr14   0:00
/usr/sbin/exim4 -Mc 1FUOup-0000o7-5e
