I used GnuTLS until 4.82_RC1.

The problem I've with GnuTLS is that since the addition of a single call to the
PKCS#11 suite in exim GnuTLS MUST have p11-kit support compiled in. On
RHEL/CentOS 5 this is nearly impossible ending up with dependencies to ...
openssl. That means that exim-4.82 breaks GnuTLS support on all these older
plattforms.

That's why I changed back to openssl building custom 1.0.1e RPMs. And since
every other server with SSL support, like apache, nginx, dovecot, ... added
ECDH support in that way I did it as well.
