Looks like you have conflicting Berkeley DB types (I saw an old message 
from Exim developer on Exim list).

And see bug report from last year:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=248622

I didn't look, but I think you can remove the old files from your old 
Debian -- old Exim and the new Exim will recreate these hints files.
