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
