You'll either need to edit the /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template file
(assuming a "monolithic config") to include the variable, or copy the
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated, drop it in /etc/exim4/exim4.conf
and then edit that - from then on in that config file will be used
rather than the autogenerated one.
