So I followed the hint from John Winters and did "dpkg-reconfigure
exim4-config".

It would be really helpful if you could tell exactly how you
configured exim.

After finishing I got an errormessage like "paniclog not empty - mail system
may be broken".

Would be helpful to see whats in /var/log/exim4/paniclog .

Agreed. Shut down the slug, remove the USB drive, mount it on another machine and show us:

$DRIVE/var/log/exim4/paniclog
$DRIVE/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf

It also wouldn't hurt to check:

$DRIVE/var/log/auth.log

for mentions of sshd.  It should be seen to start up when you boot the slug.

I have a horrible feeling though, that you have only a Windows machine on which to work (from your mention of PuTTY). This makes your life more difficult. I don't think you'll be able to read the USB stick from Windows. Do you have access to any other Linux boxes on which you could read the drive?

Cheers,
John
