So libdb2 is depending on the version of libc6 installed, and a libdb2
update must be done with a libc6 update?

Yes.

Yes, it links to libldap and libsasl. It looks like this was the cause
of the problem since I backported cyrus-sasl and openldap2 to potato
and blindly satisfied the build-depends of these packages. I re-built
them without the wrongfully backported libdb2-dev, re-built exim, and
I now have a test host running my backported exim with "services: db
files" in /etc/nsswitch.conf and no db error messages in the exim log.
Thanks for your debugging help. Now I need to understand what I just
did ;)
