Okay, here is the complete update-exim4.conf.conf, redacted:

dc_eximconfig_configtype='internet'
dc_other_hostnames='myhost.example
#dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1 ; ::1 ; 71.19.158.234'
dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1 ; ::1 ; 71.19.158.234 ;
[2605:2700:0:2::4713:9eea]:587'
dc_readhost=''
dc_relay_domains=''
dc_minimaldns='false'
dc_relay_nets=''
dc_smarthost=''
CFILEMODE='644'
dc_use_split_config='false'
dc_hide_mailname=''
dc_mailname_in_oh='true'
dc_localdelivery='mail_spool'

I have not fiddled with /etc/default/exim4 or any other files in the exim4
config.

I noticed one other thing in your output above; you seem to have a
semicolon at the end of your dc_local_interfaces specification. That might
b0rk things.

Here is the same "grep -i" for my autogenerated config:

.ifndef MAIN_LOCAL_INTERFACES
MAIN_LOCAL_INTERFACES=<; 127.0.0.1 ; ::1 ; 71.19.158.234 ;
[2605:2700:0:2::4713:9eea]:587
.ifdef MAIN_LOCAL_INTERFACES
local_interfaces = MAIN_LOCAL_INTERFACES

# lsof -Pni:587
COMMAND   PID        USER   FD   TYPE  DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
exim4   31337 Debian-exim    6u  IPv6 3133700      0t0  TCP
[2605:2700:0:2::4713:9eea]:587 (LISTEN)

The config above listens on port 25 for localhost (IPv4 and IPv6), port 25
for the IPv4 address, and port 587 for the IPv6 address.

Are you using TLS with a self signed cert?

No, this is a bare config, enabled to handle the given use case. :)

Control questions:

1. Have you double-checked that you don't have any extraneous semicolons in
the config line?

2. Have you double-checked that there are no errors from the command
update-exim4.conf?

3. Have you double-checked that there are no errors in
/var/log/exim4/paniclog?
