That is the correct configuration directive. In a normal Exim config,
you'd just add it in the main section near the top of
/etc/exim/exim.conf. However Debian does this non-standard thing where
the config is split across several files and it constructs a real
config for you using those files. That "disable_ipv6 = true" directive
needs to end up in the main section of the final Exim config. I'm
guessing that means you need to put it in one of the files in
/etc/exim4/conf.d/ or something? I use Debian myself, but the first
thing I do after installing Exim is an "rm -rf /etc/exim4/*" and then
create an exim4.conf manually.
FWIW, there is a Debian specific Exim mailing list where you might get
better help:
