This isn't really an exim issue, but a DNS one.
The DKIM DNS TXT record for a 2048-bit key is more than 255 characters so
you need to be extra careful how you enter it into the DNS database.

suggests splitting the key into multiple entries, and discusses how
to do this for at least one DNS server.
