So I want exim to put all mail into /var/mail/<$local_part> under the exim GID so people will need to be in exim group. Since of course these won't be users with shells there shouldn't be a problem with everyone reading everyone elses mail.

simple:

# Local delivery to user mailboxes.
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
return_path_add = true
envelope_to_add = true
delivery_date_add = true
file = /var/mail/$local_part
