No; if it fails to understand the options, it just dies - but it does
write a message to stderr.

Look in the util directory of your exim distribution files. There you
should find a script called logargs.sh. This is a skeleton script that
you can install instead of exim - what it does is to write its arguments
to a file, and then call exim itself (which of course you've moved out
of the way). I think the comments in the script are self-explanatory. If
you use a log file that is world writeable it should be able to log all
exim calls.
