I'm not sure. I'd have thought you'd trip up on something. Personally,
I'd definitely go through the extra pain of ensuring compile-time
defaults for exim_user and exim_group.
You can see whether you already have compile-time defaults by leaving
these two options unset in the configuration file and doing:
exim -bP | grep -E '^exim_(user|group)'
