This is what I would expect.

You have installed exim from source, rather than from a package.
Installing from source will not give you the distribution-specific
init.d hooks to automatically stop and start exim. On debian, for
example, you would use "/etc/init.d/exim4 stop" or "/etc/init.d/exim4
start".

I think you should uninstall your source-built version of exim and then
install the official Redhat exim4 package. The package will put all the
hooks in place for you.
