You could keep debugging GnuTLS, or just use a version of Exim with TLS
support via OpenSSL, which will likely just work. Your call.

Some resource that GnuTLS expects to use is not available when it is
initialised by the problem version of Exim. If not a DHE group,
likely something else related cryptography. To debug, you'd need
to figure out where that error is raised. Lack of help from strace
is not unexpected.
