I don't think Exim is actually trying to deliver to the home directory, but
it does chdir to what it thinks is the recipients home directory for some
reason. All you need to do is change what Exim thinks is the recipients home
directory, and you can do this with the home_directory directive in the
transport. I think it will work as long as the directory is accessible by Exim.

In our system I deliver to /var/mail/home/$local_part/Maildir (in Maildir
format) so in the localuser transport I set:

home_directory = /var/mail/home
directory = $home/$local_part/Maildir
