For future reference: as of Exim 4.82, you can ask the Exim binary which
Sieve extensions it supports.
% exim -bI:sieve
comparator-i;ascii-numeric
copy
encoded-character
enotify
envelope
fileinto
subaddress
vacation

Notably, Exim doesn't speak IMAP or POP3 either, but it can work well
with tools which do. For ManageSieve with Exim, pysieved is normal, I
believe.
The `exim -bI:sieve` feature was added so that such tools can
interrogate Exim to find out the capabilities of the run-time, which
they can then pass through to the ManageSieve capability announcement.
