Exicyclog isn't supposed to change the protection of anything. However,
when it moves the current log out of the way, a new one will be created,
and presumably this is what is happening.
Look in src/EDITME:
# LOG_DIRECTORY_MODE=0750
# This value is used only when Exim creates the directory for itself.
# The log files themselves are created as required, with a mode that defaults
# to 0640, but which can be changed here.
# LOG_MODE=0640
