JGH is right. We have for the mysql_servers option:
<hostname>::<port>(<socket name>)[<option group>]/<database>/<user>/<password>
(I missed the related function call in Exim's sources.)
So having TLS options in one of the my.cnf should work. Maybe you used
the wrong option group (as JGH guessed), or the wrong file, or wrong
permissions on the file, or any combination of all these.
