${run expansion changed in 4.96:
"If the option preexpand is not used, the command string is split into
individual arguments by spaces and then each argument is expanded."
i.e.
/usr/bin/echo ${quote:hello world}
is split into
/usr/bin/echo
${quote:hello
world}
and the second string yields an expansion error.
Use
/usr/sbin/exim4 -be '${run,preexpand{/usr/bin/echo ${quote:hello world}}}'
to get the old behavior.
