Well, probably becuase the exim configuration file has the wrong owner,
group or mode, but I guess that doesn't help you.

The docs say:

The runtime configuration file must be owned by root or by the user that
is specified at compile time by the EXIM_UID option, and it must not be
world- writeable or group-writeable, unless its group is the one
specified at compile time by the EXIM_GID option.

Could you supply us with an ls -l of your configuration file. A more
helpful answer might then be forthcoming.

It doesn't explicitly say this in the docs, but a similar conditions may
have to hold of all directories in the path to the configuration file.
That is a file owned by root in a directory owned by fred might be
considered a problem, although as far as I can see, fred could merely
remove the configuration file. He could not replace it with a root owned
file.
