Sure. Only wanted to set a pointer to my patch in case someone (fearless
enough;-) ) wants to try it upfront.

There currently is no "tls_verify_certificates" for smtp transport. Only
"tls_certificates" which triggers the same behavior as setting
"tls_verify_hosts = *" in the global section.

As said in the bugreport. It will still work, yes. But not in the same way as
before. I tried to bring global config and transport config on par.

Setting tls_certificates only will not activate verification anymore (as in
the main section). This means, that exim will keep the SSL session alive even
if verification would fail. To get the same result as before "tls_verify_hosts
= *" must be added to the smtp_transport as well.

Sorry, I still had no opportunity to dig into the world of the test suite. Due
to my upcoming (offline) holidays I think I'm not able to contribute in a
timely manner.
