Probably you just changed the config option. But Exim picks up this option
exactly once at startup. Later changing the configuration does not help
the running daemon. (But it may influence delivery processes started
by that daemon later.)

The reboot caused an Exim restart.

    /etc/init.d/exim reload


or (I'm not sure, which name is used by the Ubuntu package)

    /etc/init.d/exim4 reload


should help. If not, replace "reload" by "restart".
