Am I understanding you correctly? That you recommend every
Exim admin using OpenSSL to specify in the beginning of Exim config

tls_dhparam = /path/dhparam.pem

where the file should be generated once with commands

openssl dhparam -out /path/dhparam.pem 2236
chown root:mail /path/dhparam.pem
chmod 640 /path/dhparam.pem

For FreeBSD the /path/ can be /usr/local/etc/exim/
