That is not right. Exim should run with the default configuration. As I
said, the default setting, built into the code, is

daemon_smtp_ports = smtp

Yes. It means there is a problem with your operating system. It crashes
when Exim calls getservbyname("smtp", "tcp"). Do you have a file called
/etc/services? Does it have an entry for "smtp" like this:

smtp            25/tcp          mail            # Simple Mail Transfer


If not, that may be what is provoking the crash. I do not think this is
an Exim issue.
