I have no problem in such environment. openbsd-inetd works fine for me.
Of course is the backport we are talking about and not the official pkg.

that looks strange. Are you assigning different prefixes to your boxes?
dig gives out completly different ip's for these 2 machine.
It seems like an error in the dns or something like that more than an exim
problem.

If the other endpoint can be resolved both ipv4 and ipv6 then exim will do
a sort of dns roundrobin. Are you sure 100% that the other endpoint is
listening on ipv6?
