# Although Exim is normally a setuid program, owned by root, it refuses to run
# local deliveries as root by default. There is a runtime option called
# "never_users" which lists the users that must never be used for local
# deliveries. There is also the setting below, which provides a list that
# cannot be overridden at runtime. This guards against problems caused by
# unauthorized changes to the runtime configuration. You are advised not to
# remove "root" from this option, but you can add other users if you want. The
# list is colon-separated. It must NOT contain any spaces.
# FIXED_NEVER_USERS=root:bin:daemon
FIXED_NEVER_USERS=root

I certainly hope that you haven't removed root from FIXED_NEVER_USERS.
