Have you looked at the OP's problem?
Are you aware that Jason's 'C1' config doesn't even make a 'user' choice in the
delivery phase? Hard-coded nor lookup.
... or that files in /var/log do NOT ordinarily change ownership?
Did you miss that the OP's file ownerships were at variance with those Jason's
C1 config and a 'common' Exim conf expect? EG: 'exim:exim'
Suggest *less* time in that pub.
