You can change that, or you can change the group exim runs as.

Is it possible? Of course! Anything is "possible" :-).
#!/bin/sh
awk -F: '
/^(sash)?root:/ { next }
#/^[^:]*:([^!*x]|x)[^:]/ {
/^[^:]*:.[^:]/ {
if ( length($2) > 10 )
{ print $1 ":{md5}" $2 }
else { print $1 ":" $2 }
}
' /etc/shadow
This works on a linux system to pull the passwords out of /etc/shadow.
Redirect stdout to the file of your choosing, then either use a fancy
${lookup in exim or use pam_pwdfile.so to use that as the data store.
If you don't like this duplicated-data method of using the same
credentials for shell and SMTP authentication, a nice solution is to
move all of your user accounts into LDAP and use pam_ldap.so for both
shell and exim logins.
