On two of my systems the setup is like this:

$ ls -l /etc/exim4/passwd.client
-rw-r-----  1 root Debian-exim 112 2005-05-27 10:10 /etc/exim4/passwd.client

I don't think it is a good idea to make this file world readable,
though in my case this file is basically empty.  So change the group
of this file to Debian-exim (you might have a different group name for
this) and chmod it back to 640 and test if it works again.

HTH,
