What exim are you using? Is it the precompiled version from the cygwin distribution or a self-built version?
If you download the distribution version (with setup, look in the Mail category) and run "exim-config" you will be offered the option to start a service. The -oX 25 works fine here (WinME). At any rate you don't need it, 25 is the default I am not sure what you mean about "single tab" and why you want to change /etc/services.
