Hmm, seeing this listing and also knowing your following post, just a
dumb question: have you actually regenerated you config after changing
the files in the conf.d directory?

exim4 generates a config by merging the data in the template file
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template or the ones in the /etc/exim4/conf.d
directory tree respectively and /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf to
the output file /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated, please see
man update-exim4.conf
for further reference.

Please also see /usr/share/doc/exim4/README.SMTP-AUTH for further
explanations about the process in general.

HTH,
Flo
