try piping a test mail (from a text file) into /usr/cyrus/bin/deliver ${local_part}:

$ cat testmail | /usr/cyrus/bin/deliver user

as user cyrus and look what happens. Once you can do this successfully from
the command line (ie the mail gets delivered into the user's mailbox), you can
test your exim config. But until then it's not an exim problem.
