vixie-cron has a run-time dependency on virtual/mta which can be satisfied =
by=20
both exim and ssmtp (and 8 other packages in the tree). ssmtp is the defaul=
t=20
provider.

What has happened is that all versions of exim in the tree that you haven't=
=20
masked have been removed from the tree. I.e. there are no versions in the=20
tree below 4.55. Therefore it suggests installing the default provider of=20
virtual/mta which is blocked by the version of exim which is still installe=
d=20
although not installable (not in the tree). It matters despite the "nomerge=
"=20
because it's a run-time dependency rather than build-time.

You have at least four options. The first option is to upgrade exim and hop=
e=20
it'll work. I have no knowledge about exim so I cannot tell you whether it=
=20
will. The second is to restore the ebuild for your installed version in an=
=20
overlay (you can pull it from /var/db/pkg/mail-mta/exim-4.54/) thereby=20
restoring a non-masked version of exim.. The third is to add mail-mta/exim =
to=20
package.provided (see `man portage`). The fourth is to unmerge exim and use=
=20
another mta (I'm using postfix).
