That's all correct (for unsplit configurations) †.

But you haven't reconfigured exim yet. As I pointed out,
the Debian way to do that is:

# dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

and that will *also* look after restarting exim in the
appropriate way for your system.

† I think it's good practice to put a comment line at the
end of the file. You wrote that you put a CR at the end,
but it's more likely to be a LF. Put a comment line, and
then you know (and can *see*) the problem is taken care of.

Cheers,
David.
