The answer is in the README file in the release. It states:

The author of Exim believes that it is Y2K-compliant, as long as the
underlying operating system and C library are. Exim does not parse dates
or times at all. Internally, it makes some use of binary timestamps in
Unix format (number of seconds since 1-Jan-1970) and uses C library
services to convert these to printing forms (e.g. for logging). The
printing forms all use 4-digit years.
