Maybe, as a first step, you could move from the Debian configuration
infrastructure for exim to a hand edited configuration file. The exim4
package is already prepared for that; all you have to do is to create
the configuration file as /etc/exim4/exim4.conf. You can start with the
example configuration /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/examples/example.conf.gz
and make changes as necessary.

While it _is_ possible to achieve your goal within the Debian
infrastructure, it involves creating or modifying files in an entire
tree of configurations [1], which many find not "intuitive" and/or
unfamiliar.

I am reasonably sure that Ubuntu is exactly the same as Debian with
respect to Exim.
