Unfortunately not using only the Exim config file.
[ I suspect this is due to features having been added over time.
The parsing of a single host-spec is custom, and lacks any way
of escaping metacharacters.
This is a bug; feel free to raise one. The problem will be fixing it
in some way that is back-compatible.

Apart from an /etc/hosts entry (as you found) - you could use
a mysql config file entry
(
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.4/en/option-files.html )
along the lines of
[exim]
host = <host>
(which according to those docs accepts name, ipv4-addr or ipv6-addr)
