If I understand well, do you want to connect to your exim and then have
the cert of the server shown?


        $ openssl s_client -connect <host>:465
or
        $ openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect <host>:25

The last one only works with a recent openssl, since there is some
bug(?) in the way starttls is implemented in s_client. (If I remember
well s_client doesn't do the initial "ESMTP|EHLO" sequence.)
