Hmm. Taking into account other sa-exim breakage
https://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20180726.113354.6d03efde.en.html

sa-exim probably has reached EOL. I am wondering whether there are other
users of the dynamic local_scan loading patch
https://sources.debian.org/src/exim4/4.92-4/debian/patches/90_localscan_dlopen.dpatch/

or whether we are better off simply ditching it instead of adding the
missing HAVE_LOCAL_SCAN=yes and hoping this fixes the issue.
