No.
EXIM_UID=18 and EXIM_GID=18 are definitions for a _Makefile_.
If you want to put user and group options in the configuration file
you use configuration file options, which are in the spec, in the main
options section.
You could try _reading_ the manuals, though. Just a (annoyed, early
morning bitch) thought.
I use EXIM_UID and EXIM_GID in my Local/Makefile and have been for a
long time with no problems, on my Solaris and FreeBSD boxen.
If you want to put things in the config file, use:
# what user and group to run as when root priv isn't needed.
exim_user = exim
exim_group = exim
