Good morning,

If a host is in tls_verify_hosts and hosts_try_tls but not in
hosts_require_tls exim will fall back to cleartext. (That is for the
non-DANE case.)
[...]

@original submitter:
* Use a certiticate that verifyable without client-side changes., e.g. setup
DANE on the server and/or use e.g. a letsencrypt cert.
* Give client-side exim a way to verify the cert by adding the cert to
the trusted list.
* Modify the tls_verify_hosts setting.
