This has known security issues. You're better off updating Exim to fix
known problems than worrying about POODLE and SMTP; worry about POODLE
_after_ you get Exim up-to-date.

Your OS might have backported fixes, but that build date suggests not.

This is older than the GnuTLS developers support, but should still
support TLS1.0 through TLS1.2.

So, how have you ruled out that this is a client limitation, with a
client which doesn't support TLS?

Which clients are you trying to use?
