Mailman works fine as a different UID to exim - and *should* be run that
way (why should a broken MLM compromise your mail queues too).
However the UID/GID used to invoke mailman is critical, and so you need
to make sue that the MAILMAN_USER/MAILMAN_GROUP settings match your
mailman installation.
It may be as easy to reinstall mailman to get this right - however I
think you can deduce the settings by looking at the ownerships on the
mailman directories.
I would strongly recommend that mailman is *not* built using exim as its
owner or group.
