In fact, this is a real bug of ubuntu exim4 install that is still here
in 14 and 16
all you have to do is:
sudo apt-get -y remove exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light
sudo apt-get -y purge exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light
sudo apt-get install exim4
then reinstall exim as explained here:
So far as explained here:
https://php.quicoto.com/setup-exim4-to-use-gmail-in-ubuntu/
sudo apt-get install exim4 <https://php.quicoto.com/tag/exim4/>-base
exim4-config
sudo apt-get install exim4-daemon-light
sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
and then make your configuration and everything will be fine.
took me 2 years to figure this out.
regards
