I've apparently got wrong perms on /etc/exim4, so I thought I'd just rename the directory and reconfigure exim4 to fix it, and/or purge/reinstall if that didn't do it. (I don't need to preserve any current exim4 setup.)
What process creates these directories? Where does exim4-config store its info if not in /etc/exim4 (and why doesn't it store it there, where a person would presumably expect to find exim4 configuration)?
exim4 is a metapackage; what I needed to play with was exim4-base .
