The exim binary is not in your path. So if you installed Exim via source and
didnt modify Local/Makefile to much - then the binary is in /usr/exim/bin.
If on the other hand you installed this from ports on FreeBSD, then your
exim binary is in /usr/local/sbin/. Add the relevant directory to $PATH.

This is a courier-imap error. The authdaemon is successfully authenticate
you but your maildir doesnt exist so it cant successfully complete the
chdir().
So get the directory created with the correct permissions and it will work.
