Exim, like sendmail, is only an MTA, it is not an MUA (eg, it does not
provide a POP or IMAP server, nor any other was for users to read their
mailboxes)

In light of my previous, while you probably will want to use your mysql
data for directing and delivery of messages, you will need some POP or
IMAP daemon that supports mysql authentication for reading mail. (One
exception is if you want to configure SMTP AUTH for your clients
sending mail through your server from foreign networks..)
