Many exim config parameters can be given as so-called 'file lookup',
giving you the ability to get the parameter value from a file, a
database or even a perl script (duh!).
If you can understand how this work (don't ask me), the rest should be
easy (but maybe you need to include a kill -HUP to force exim to reconfig
after an ISP switch-over)
