The location of exim.conf is configured in Local/Makefile:
(from my Makefile)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# CONFIGURE_FILE defines where Exim's run time configuration file is to be
# found. It is the complete pathname for the file, not just a directory. The
# location of all other run time files and directories can be changed in the
# run time configuration file. There is a lot of variety in the choice of
# location in different OS, and in the preferences of different sysadmins. Some
# common locations are in /etc or /etc/mail or /usr/local/etc or
# /usr/local/etc/mail. Another possibility is to keep all the Exim files under
# a single directory such as /usr/exim. Whatever you choose, the installation
# script will try to make the directory and any superior directories if they
# don't exist. It will also install a default runtime configuration if this
# file does not exist.
