This is not an exabgp bug (this is an how-to use question), and it is was you did not provide the information requested so I can not help.

journalctl -xe exabgp may show you why exabgp failing to start (I can not recall the exact syntax from the top of my head). Most likely as you do not have a valid configuration file. It has been years I have not been actively administrating Linux servers, so good luck.

You could try to ask on Slack if someone can help you.
