When you told tasksel to remove Standard system, it removed exim4. Many
packages depend on exim4 | mail-transport-agent, and apparently one was
installed during the same aptitude run. So, aptitude, having just been
told to remove exim4, is forced to satisfy that dependency by picking a
mail-transport-agent providing package at random.
