Looking at the package database on Ubuntu Breezy I cannot see any package relationships that would cause that situation to occur if the command apt-get install exim4 exim4-config had been run on an otherwise clean system. (I'm leaving synaptic out of the equation here for a moment).
My suspicion is that your system was probably in an unclean state before you started synaptic and that breakage has just carried through to occur in the same operation as the exim install.
On a fresh install of Hoary, I've hit the exact same problem using apt-get. I ended up sticking with Postfix, not wanting to lose relatively important packages.
