I guess you could configure Exim ("dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config") so
that listens only at the desired interfaces (i.e., only to localhost ipv4
-127.0.0.1- instead adding localhost ipv6 -::1- addresses).
Anyway, Exim shouldn't complain if your nic is configured to handle ipv6
requests (which is the default since years but "/sbin/ifconfig lo" will
confirm).
