I was concerned about exim's usage, not the OpenSSL library per se.

It turns out that both OpenSSL and GnuTLS intentionally violate
the letter of the standard in the relevant area (the list of
acceptable CAs for client certificates that the server sends);
hence the apparent failing of the exim usage is possibly moot
(depending on whether other SSL libraries also ignore the
list as received at the client).
