It is possible that your system is configured to use NIS (YP), NIS+,
ldap or other remote lookup facilities.
Try this command:
# getent services smtp
smtp 25/tcp mail
If you have a getent command, and it doesn't return a valid entry, you
do indeed have a services resolving problem which may bite you again in
the future. If so, take a look at /etc/nsswitch.conf (or
possibly /etc/net/nsswitch.conf if it's not in /etc/ on your OS). The
line with "services" tells how services should be looked up on your
system. If you have to use NIS/NIS+ (unlikely, since you're running
exim without NIS support built in), talk to whoever runs the NIS server
about fixing the map.
