You are right. Exim doesn't even care about the server's certificate. When
I concatenate all Thawte root certs (from the ca-certificates package)
into tlscerts.out, Exim can derive the validity of the GMX certificate.
I find that a bit strange, since I cannot see why I should trust Thawte
more than I trust my email provider, but so be it....
