I use MySQL for aliases and other things, but it does indeed work with exim.

Here's my router:
mysql_aliases:
        driver = redirect
        allow_fail
        allow_defer
        data            = ${lookup mysql{ SELECT dest FROM aliases \
                        WHERE email='${quote_mysql:$local_part@$domain}'
AND \
                        type="site"}}
        pipe_transport  = pipe

Transport:
pipe:
        driver = pipe
        user = mail
        group = mail

And an example entry in the DB looks like this:
abuse@??? "|php -q <path to php script>"
