I know exactly what you mean. Exim4u is more update and current but I 
know vexim and my main sticking point is vexim is geared to work with 
bsd either with the ports system or just follow the docs.
I know its only a case of changing a few paths or quite a lot with 
exim4u and I will be giving it a whirl in a jail some time soon.
But a new vexim release would suite me better
