File /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf is autogenerated by dpkg (Debian
packet manager), so this it NOT a good solution. You have better to use
split-config and add custom definitions in files under
/etc/exim4/conf.d/main/.

It seems you do not understand clearly how it works...
File /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/02_exim4-config_options from Debian
distribution contains:
# Message size limit. The default (used when MESSAGE_SIZE_LIMIT
# is unset) is 50 MB
.ifdef MESSAGE_SIZE_LIMIT
message_size_limit = MESSAGE_SIZE_LIMIT
.endif
Files under /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/ are sourced in alphabetical order.
So if you add your custom definition of MESSAGE_SIZE_LIMIT before
02_exim4-config_options, it will be applied to message_size_limit.
If after, it will be ignored.
PS. As Jeremy pointed, this list is not for Debian-specific questions.
