Looking at the nginx docs pages I suspect that nginx is only
being an smtp forwarding MTA, talking SMTP to the eventual
destination and not proxy-protocol.

If so, you must not configure your exim to expect proxy-protocol,
and you'll have to remove from your config anything that depends
on the source IP (and rDNS name corresponding), since that will
always be the nginx system.
