Assuming you mean the Exim tls_eccurve option:
you didn't say what OpenSSL version, nor exactly what investigation
you have done.  According to
https://docs.openssl.org/master/man3/SSL_CTX_set1_curves/#history
support for X25519MLKEM768 arrived in 3.5.

(If you meant the option of using gentoo, I have to wonder what they broke.
Exim with GnuTLS DANE testing works just fine, in the regression testsuite).
