update-exim4.conf.conf is *not* a general purpose exim configuration
file (and I don't believe any part of documentation suggests that it
is). As it's name suggests, it is the configuration file for the tool
"update-exim4.conf"; the update-exim4.conf manpage documents the options
/ variables which will be parsed and used from the file.

If you want a directive to be included in the configuration, you need to
either add it to the relevant place in /etc/exim4.conf.template or to an
appropriately located file in /etc/exim4/conf.d, depending on whether
you've told exim to use split configuration. See
/usr/share/doc/exim4/README.Debian.gz and update-exim4.conf(8) for more
details.
