Ok, what happens is that nowadays exim4 listens on ipv6 by default, see /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf: dc_local_interfaces='127.0.0.1 ; ::1' But exim4 doesn't nicely failback if the kernel doesn't support ipv6 (EAFNOSUPPORT). This is actually not a hurd bug, but an exim4 bug, which I'll submit. That being said, I've commited support for enabling ipv6 on GNU/Hurd, so the issue will fly away :) In the meanwhile, simply drop "; ::1" from update-exim4.conf.conf and voilà.
