To avoid this I stop/start exim with 'kill -TERM' and '/usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q5m'
where /usr/sbin/exim4 is the binary (verified).
The env variables are exported in the very same shell, the exim is
started from.

If this wouldn't work, the active-hostname would not be set either - but that works:

   root@14c3c675c896:/# ps ax | grep exim
    4401 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q5m
    6695 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep exim
   root@14c3c675c896:/# kill -TERM 4401
   root@14c3c675c896:/# ps ax | grep exim
    6697 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep exim
   root@14c3c675c896:/# export EXIM_HOSTNAME=justanothertest
   root@14c3c675c896:/# /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q5m
   root@14c3c675c896:/# telnet localhost 25
   Trying 127.0.0.1...
   Connected to localhost.
   Escape character is '^]'.
   220 justanothertest LF.net custom MTA conf v3.0 Wed, 29 Jul 2020 13:20:49 +0200
   quit
   221 justanothertest closing connection
   Connection closed by foreign host.




Very strange :(
