Exim delays reading of the ssl files until it's really needed. Normally
the root privileges are dropped already at that point.
The ssl files should be readable by the Exim user, on Debian based
systems it is 'Debian-exim'. The directories on the way down to the ssl
files should be executable. You may check this about like this
su -c /bin/bash - Debian-exim
cd <the dir with the ssl files>
cat <crt> >/dev/null
cat <key> >/dev/null
