You can't. It would be ridiculous to have a command line option for
every configuration file option. However, you can get round this by
using macros. In your configuration file, put

LOG_PATH=/default/log/path
log_file_path = LOG_PATH

Then you can call exim with

exim -DLOG_PATH=/other/log/path ...

Of course, like -C, the use of -D requires privilege.
