You did install openssl from the ports, yes? You probably shouldn't have
done that, as openssl is supposed to be in the base system for FreeBSD.
I am not going to help you fix that though. You have to decide on what
steps to take - either deinstall the /usr/ports/security/openssl and
rely on the one from the base system or use it as is.

For the purposes of your current problem, Exim is assuming you are
using TLS, which is what is pulling in the openssl dependency. If you
don't really need TLS support on Exim, then do:

cd /usr/ports/mail/exim
make -DWITHOUT_TLS

..and proceed from there...

I'd advise you to rely on utils like /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade
or /usr/ports/sysutils/portmanager to manage your ports.

Lastly, you will be happy to deinstall your openssl from the ports and
rebuild all your apps that were relying on it to instead link against
the one in the base system.
