I don't know why you are asking here, but the answer seems to be no.

However:

$ apt-cache show exim-tls
[...]
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.3-7), libdb2 (>= 2:2.7.7-4), libldap2 (>=
2.0.11-1), libpam0g (>= 0.72-1), libssl0.9.6, cron (>=3.0pl1-42), netbase,
openssl
[...]

The PAM support should take care of mysql; I don't know if Exim supports
maildirs out of the box (I thought it does, but don't know for sure).
However, if PAM is insufficient, you can always do this:

$ apt-get source exim-tls
$ cd exim-tls-3.33
$ vi debian/rules
[... add --with-mysql to the ./configure line ...]
$ su
# debian/rules binary
# dpkg -i ../exim-tls*.deb
