A very common configuration. Basically the exim server would act as
SMTP frontend for post.office. It is easy to do. Make the exim server
machine the lowest MX for your domain. Setup a domain route in exim to
route all e-mail for your domain to the post.office server. Also add
packets filters to your border to router to block all SMTP to your
post.office server.
