Jeremy, there is perhaps a cut-n-paste error in the SMTP transport variable 
docs:

    
http://exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-the_smtp_transport.html#SECID146

The text for "hosts_require_dane" and "hosts_try_dane" reads the same:

    hosts_require_dane  Use: smtp   Type: host list†    Default: unset

        If built with DANE support, Exim will require that a DNSSEC-validated
        TLSA record is present for any host matching the list, and that a
        DANE-verified TLS connection is made. See the dnssec_request_domains
        router and transport options. There will be no fallback to in-clear
        communication. See section 43.15. 

    hosts_try_dane  Use: smtp   Type: host list†    Default: *

        If built with DANE support, Exim will require that a DNSSEC-validated
        TLSA record is present for any host matching the list, and that a
        DANE-verified TLS connection is made. See the dnssec_request_domains
        router and transport options. There will be no fallback to in-clear
        communication. See section 43.15. 

But, presumably, with the "try" variant, the TLSA RRs are not actually
required, and DANE is applied only when TLSA RRs are present
(RFC7672-style opportunistic DANE TLS).
