Seconded. The exim specification says about "32. Retry configuration" in
the second sentence: "If there are no retry rules, temporary errors are
treated as permanent."
I think that makes it quite clear what happens. Further, to me the
current behaviour seems appropriate and does what people might expect.
OTOH one could think about writing a logline if any of exims config
sections are missing completely. (And maybe too if they are functional
empty.)

Using a retry section with just one line containing "* * "?
