On which architecture?

Right, you are missing -ldl, which prevents dynamic symbols from working.
On my system, it builts as such:
gcc -o exim -rdynamic acl.o child.o crypt16.o daemon.o dbfn.o debug.o deliver.o directory.o dns.o drtables.o enq.o exim.o expand.o filter.o globals.o header.o host.o ip.o log.o lss.o match.o moan.o os.o parse.o queue.o rda.o readconf.o receive.o retry.o rewrite.o route.o search.o smtp_in.o smtp_out.o spool_in.o spool_out.o store.o string.o tls.o tod.o transport.o tree.o verify.o local_scan.o perl.o version.o \
  -lpcre \
  routers/routers.a transports/transports.a lookups/lookups.a \
  auths/auths.a \
  -lresolv -lnsl -lcrypt   -lpam \
   -ldb -lldap -llber -lmysqlclient -lpq -rdynamic  -L/usr/local/lib /usr/lib/perl/5.6.1/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a -L/usr/lib/perl/5.6.1/CORE -lperl -ldl -lm -lc -lcrypt -lgnutls -ltasn1 -lgcrypt
 
When you build exim, try setting EXTRALIBS_EXIM=-ldl in the Makefile
(exim's EDITME file)

I don't have to add -ldl, it gets added by itself. I looked while, and it 
seems to be becuase of perl on my system, which also sets -ldl.

I have a hard time to believe that the dlopen patch is missing -ldl from it,
but it seems to be the case.
I'll add it to the patch after you confirm that adding -ldl fixed it for you
