Well, you could always use sendmail ;-)
I think you have the problem backwards. It's not that you need to be
root to run exim -bS (you don't), rather that your specification is
telling Exim to run it as root, and that's normally prohibited by the
default FIXED_NEVER_USERS list.
Try changing the user/group specification in your transport.
