Not unless you specifically configure it to be that way. By default if you
compile in TLS support exim will attempt to use SSL when another host
advertises STARTTLS. Likewise you can also configure your server to
advertise STARTTLS. Read chapter 38 of the Exim specification for details.

You really can't know that. Well, unless you only send email to yourself
on a completely closed system. And even then I wouldn't be so sure. :)
