I think the router runs as root for deliveries and as the Exim user for address
verification. If this router is not critical for verifying addresses you could
set no_verify. If it is critical maybe you could set up an alternate router
with verify_only that doesn't try to read the file.
You could also try adding require_files; that has an option to check file
permissions as the user. It might not help with verification, but you might get
more informative error messages.

Is 93 your Exim user?
