You either have to trust the exim user or run procmail as the person
you are delivering to.

I don't like having suid things around when they don't need to be.
exim's suid is enough to handle delivering to a non-suid procmail.
I use;
# delivery by procmail, local users with .procmailrc files only
procmail_pipe:
driver = pipe
delivery_date_add = true
envelope_to_add = true
return_path_add = true
path = "PROCMAILDIR:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin"
command = "procmail -a ${substr_1:${local_part_suffix}} -d ${local_part}"
from_hack
user = ${local_part}
# Use procmail only if a ~/.procmailrc file exists, and procmail exists.
procmail:
driver = localuser
transport = procmail_pipe
require_files = "${local_part}:${home}/.procmailrc:+PROCMAILDIR/procmail\
:!${home}/.forward"
suffix = DSUFFIX*
suffix_optional
