How about this for a kludge/work-around:
Openldap (& maybe other ldap servers) has the ability to retrieve info from other ldap servers.
Why not configure it to speak to another ldap over 'ldaps' (if you can do it) and then
exim can speak to the local ldap (on the same machine) over 'ldap' (which is prob reasonably
secure).
