Can't see anything wrong with that part of the config. The exim4
changelog between 4.93 and 4.94 is quite long, and many things have
changed. You could try to bisect, of course.
Did 4.94 fail to connect every time, or was it sporadic?
Since the only difference between your tests are the version of exim, I
can't see any reason to try manually testing open openssl, but you could
try testing with tcpdump, and see if you see anything different between
the versions or if there's a difference in failed and successful
attempts (exim -Rf @domain to force a queue-run, should ignore retry
delays).
Good luck:)
