Actually there is

nsswitch.conf that contains

...
hosts:          files dns
...

And  /etc/host.conf:

order    hosts,bind
multi on

so it should work but exim does not seem to take that into consideration

sudo exim -bP |grep lookup_order
host_lookup_order = bydns:byaddr

Sounds like a Debian setup. You could read the Exim documentation and try to understand the Debian config setup from scratch, or you could ask in a Debian forum.
