That suggests that Exim was compiled against OpenSSL 0.9.8 which
only has TLS 1.0.

Don't do that. Low-level security security settings are not
something one should arrive at by trial and error. The defaults
are usually much safer than anything you'll arrive at by experiment.

You almost certainly don't need to disable TLSv1. It is quite
sufficiently strong for opportunistic TLS. No need to be fashionable.
Attempts to maximize security often backfire and reduce security.

For opportunistic TLS, raising the security bar, results in fewer
peers being able to encrypt and more peers sending in the clear.
