You might need to recompile exim to use the updated pam libraries.
The revdev-rebuild tool might help. But see below...

That upgrade shouldn't cause problems.

It's possible that one of these pam modules isn't there any more.
If you've upgraded to pam-0.99 (which is masked), then pam-stack is not
available, for example.
So you might need to rewrite your pam config, or downgrade to pam-0.78.
