You tried to Exim as a daemon (-bd) and debug output (-d). The debug
output goes to stderr, which may not be available to the daemon anymore (I
guess).
exim -bdf -d
is what I use. "-bdf" lets Exim sit in the foreground, so I can kill it
easily using ^C.

Hm, I'm confused. We have 4 PIDs now
7733: the process that complains about "address in use"
2816: the process that was started by your systemd unit
16311: the process that is listening on your port 25
I do not know in which order you did start these things.

The github is not the proper place to ask for help in situations like
yours. I'll remove this pull request later and we can continue this
conversation on the exim-users@??? mailing list.
What to do now?
Simply kill all the processes that block your port.
fuser -kv 25/tcp
might help. Or use any other tool suitable for this.
