No need - you can typically compile exim to run as mailnull:mail ...

Run it as a daemon - don't run it from inetd. Even if you are on a
workstation or something, don't run it from inetd ... start it as a daemon
and let it listen only on localhost and any rfc1918 interfaces you may have.

Sometimes doesn't work - you need a copy of the master.passwd file or
similar in your exim directory, chowned to the user and group ids exim runs as.
