Thanks, my $hosts_try_tls is as follows:

  hosts_try_auth = ${if exists{CONFDIR/passwd.client} \
        {\
        ${lookup{$host}nwildlsearch{CONFDIR/passwd.client}{$host_address}}\
        }\
        {} \
      }

and I don't have a $hosts_require_tls. Is there something for exim like
postconf for postfix to see what values certain things have while the
MTA is running?

About the reverse DNS, I would like to get that fixed anyway and the
exim4_files(5) manpage says for /etc/exim4/passwd.client:
       Please  note  that target.mail.server.example is currently the
       value that exim can read from reverse DNS: It first follows the
       host name of the target system until it finds and IP address, and
       then looks up the reverse DNS for that IP address to use the
       outcome of this query (or the IP address  itself  should  the
       query fail) as index into /etc/exim4/passwd.client.

Thanks for all help!
