That is handled by the Debconf part of installation; the package
should have asked that question on installation and it should have
created an appropriate /etc/aliases file.

How about pasting the output of exim4 -bt root here?
On pkg-exim4-users, you could post your update-exim4.conf.conf, but if
you want to have help here, you'll need to post the relevant parts of
your configuration. You can either edit down your
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated or run update-exim4.conf with the
appropriate options to write the configuration to some other file
without stripping away the comments.
Since root redirection happens in a pretty normal /etc/aliases file
with no special handling in the exim configuration, I am quite
interested in the contents of your /etc/aliases.
