That's right, the quotes cause the punctuation to be read as part of
the address. Obviously spaces and commas are not a part of any valid
address.
| local_interfaces = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" "yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy"
This one is missing the separator between the items.

You can't do that -- the option is a list of interfaces, so include
all the interfaces you want in the setting. Don't declare it twice.

First of all, the default is to bind to all interfaces. If that's
what you want, don't specify the option at all. Second, read the exim
spec on host lists. It's all about how you textually formated the data.
For a quick hint, use ';' as the item separator and don't quote things
that shouldn't be quoted.
