Just a hunch:
I don't know offhand what checks Exim makes, but I wouldn't be surprised if
one of the checks is permissions on the crt and key files, and on the
directory containing them.  Permissions like this are probably a good idea:

-rw-r-----  1 root        Debian-exim  2704 2009-12-29 17:29 server.crt
-rw-r-----  1 root        Debian-exim   887 2009-11-26 20:37 server.key

i.e. not world-readable, not world-writeable (and also there's no reason for
exim to be able to write them either).

Hope my wild stab in the dark helps,
