The access is granted through a secondary group membership, yes. But that
isn't the problem, it even works with 750 (the Exim user is not the owner).
However, what you said seems true for Apache (mod_vhost), inducing some
headache until I noticed :-)

Exim is launched using the Debian init.d script. What consequences does the
launching method have?
