mailq is often a link on many systems to /usr/lib/sendmail which may or
not be exim on your system. I prefer doing 'exim -bp' or 'exim -bpu' to
see the state of the queue. As for where the queue lives, it depends on
how you built exim. Usually it's something like /var/exim or
/var/spool/exim.

I'd also encourage you to look at your log files to determine where your
mail is going rather than making an assumption that may be incorrect.
