There are two exim packages,

exim4-daemon-heavy - exim MTA (v4) daemon with extended features,
including exiscan-acl

 exim4 daemon with extended features. In addition to the features
 already supported by exim4-daemon-light, the extended features include
 LDAP, PostgreSQL and MySQL data lookups, SASL and SPA SMTP authentication,
 embedded Perl interpreter, and exiscan-acl for integration of
 virus-scanners and spamassassin.

exim4-daemon-light - lightweight exim MTA (v4) daemon

 exim4 daemon with only basic features (including support for TLS
 encryption and the dlopen patch to allow dynamic loading of a
 local_scan function) enabled. It works well with the standard setups
 that are provided by Debian.


If the light version doesn't have the necessary drivers, you should try
the heavy version. I'm right now using the heavy version so that I can
use the cyrus authentification facilities.
