Done. The result is in

http://openlib.org/home/krichel/exim.txt

Spoiler alert: it does not mention local_scan

krichel@trabbi~$ grep local_scan public_html/home/krichel/exim.txt
krichel@trabbi~$

Done. The result is in

Guess what?! It does not mention local_scan either

krichel@trabbi~$ grep local_scan public_html/home/krichel/strace.txt
krichel@trabbi~$

Local_scan seems to have vanished.

It could still be possible that the command-line invocation does
not load the proper configuration. Recall

root@darni ~ # grep local_scan /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated
local_scan_path = /root/opt/sa-exim-4.2.1/sa-exim-4.2.1.so
root@darni ~ #

Thus I changed your invocations to

root@darni ~ # /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -d+all -C /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated -bd -d+all

and

root@darni ~ # strace -f -e trace=file -s 256 /usr/sbin/exim4 -C /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated -bd -d+all

respectively. I run the tests again, results are at

http://openlib.org/home/krichel/exim_c.txt

and

http://openlib.org/home/krichel/strace_c.txt

This seems to yield no joy

krichel@trabbi~$ grep local_scan public_html/home/krichel/exim_c.txt
krichel@trabbi~$ grep local_scan public_html/home/krichel/strace_c.txt
krichel@trabbi~$

Something seems very wrong here. I'm afraid it could be me.
