I don't think that's how you're supposed to enter different listener ports
in update-exim4.conf, semicolon is already the separator thingy.

The following seems to work for me (tested with my own IPv4 and IPv6
addresses):

dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1 ; ::1 ; 71.19.158.234 ;
[2605:2700:0:2::4713:9eea]:587'

Tested with Debian wheezy, which uses Exim 4.80.
