He didn't show the exim configuration. He showed a configuration file
that Debian's magic uses to create the exim configuration. What we use
as exim config is not-so-different from the upstream example.conf, it
just has a truckload of extra macros and string replacements.
The original user is not using split configuration
(dc_use_split_config='false'), so his exim configuration is at
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template.
His question is quite special and would probably not find answers on
pkg-exim4-users where I am usually the only one giving answers.

No, he is using non-split config and would have to change
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template. If he would be using split config,
your advice would be correct.

No, Debian tries hard to preserve user changes to configuration files.
We usually succeed. If a file changed in the package and locally, the
admin is asked which version to keep.
