wag ...

chown root.root /etc/exim/openssl
chmod 750 /etc/exim/openssl

chown root.root /etc/exim/openssl/exim.*
chmod 400 /etc/exim/openssl/exim.*

OpenSSL certs should always be read only by root

you might want to check the docs regarding uid/gid running dovecot 
and uid/gid of dovenull
and permissions for the dovecot dir tree /etc/dovecot*

wag ... i think it should not be owned by exim

...
