Not sure if it will solve your problem, but I was once advised to pin
all of experimental to 101. This has the effect of not installing
experimental packages by default, but once you manually pull one (with
-t experimental), that package is "tracked", i.e. upgraded when a new
upload to experimental happens.

Perhaps you should've used 500 here, so that a version comparison
happens between unstable and experimental (both at 500). If not,
you're stating that you prefer exim4 packages from experimental
regardless of their version.
