Please post the first 20 lines of /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.
Please also do a "ls -al /var/lib/exim4/" and "stat
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated" and post the results.
Just in case, my exim4.conf.localmacros file now has
MESSAGE_SIZE_LIMIT = 200M #########################
####
but did not help.
The first 20 lines of config.autogenerated not so easy to copy because
of long lines, but this is what I get:

I didn't understand the reference here to split configuration. I checked
my exim configuration, and much to my surprise it was split. This is
probably the problem, and now I have to figure out how to increase
attachment size with a split configuration.
