Hum, I just installed the latest exim on a new machine and can't reproduce
what you describe. exim-config created
lrwxrwxrwx  1 p-humblet sw 13 Dec  8 10:10 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> 
/usr/bin/exim*
(no .exe anywhere) , as one would expect from the line
     ln -s -f  /usr/bin/exim /usr/sbin/sendmail &&

Could there be a problem with your ln?
