The OP included:

=================

exim -bV reports:

*SNIP*

Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore/mbx autoreply lmtp pipe smtp

=================

Does that not signify it was compiled appropriately?

Seems to me the issue is then whether the relevant transport(s) has/have:

maildir_format = true

- if/as/when they specify use of a Maildir.... Not all would
necessarily do so.
