I have mysql84 installed
When I try to install exim, the system wants to install mysql80-client
How to use exim with mysql84-client version?

which flavor are you trying to install? mail/exim has MYSQL option disabled, so maybe you are trying to install mail/exim-mysql?

For a non-default version of mysql you need to build the port with DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=MYSQL=8.4 set in your make.conf.

I'm installing exim-mysql
I don't want to use ports...
Is there a way to install the Exim package? Using mysql84-client...

No. The packages in the official repos are built against the current default mysql version, wich is 8.0.
If you want to use 8.4 as the default, you need to build the port yourself or wait until mysql default version is bumped to 8.4. Considering 8.0 is officially supported until the end of April 2026, I suspect this will happen in Q1/2026 (or maybe even in this quarter) for the latest ports tree.
