okee, this probably means that your /etc/inetd.conf got hoosed,
unless you are running exim in daemon mode.
Somewhere you need to find lines like:
#:MAIL: Mail, news and uucp services.
smtp stream tcp nowait mail /usr/sbin/exim exim -bs
if that smtp line is missing, add it, do as root "/etc/init.d/inetd reload"
and try again.
