Your Package Maintainer made the same mistake as the Fedora one. The 
makefile for the lookup libraries has been changed. The buildprocess 
from Rocky needs to reflect this change.

As a workaround, you can symlink the mysql.so as mysql_lookup.so , same 
for postgre. Search in /usr/ for exims lookup directory, you will find 
the libs there. The exact path depends on your distro.
