I'm taking this back public. If folks want private support, then they
can expect to pay my consulting rates. USD900/day. I recommend keeping
it public on the lists, where support is gratis, unless you want an
invoice.

Oh, paying clients, you can definitely afford to pay onwards. :)

Your Exim build is badly broken. Are you compiling with one set of
headers but the binary is linked with a different version of the
library?

What are the "Library version" lines of output from "exim -d -bV" ?
All of them, unfiltered.

If you have OpenSSL 1.1.X and 1.0.Y libraries and headers getting mixed
up, that would explain TLS crashes. This is why I added the TLS library
versions to debug version output, many many years ago.
