I've tracked down the problem.  In older releases, Debian used to patch
up the value passed to gnutls_dh_set_prime_bits() to 2048, so they broke
TLS interop with most non-Exim deployments of mail-servers with EDH
support, since AFAIK most other software defaults the parameters
generated, for server-side, to 1024 bits.

This is why I couldn't find the issue in the Exim source.
