I'd say, it looks as expected. Though there is no delivery process
exec'ed. But the "<=" line seems to be written.

What, if you watch using strace:

    date | strace -o /tmp/log -s 1024 -e open,write exim admin@mydomain


The "<=" should appear in the strace log: something similiar like the following

open("/var/log/exim4/mainlog", O_WRONLY|O_APPEND) = 4
write(4, "2013-05-06 13:57:02 [13631] 1UZK2Q-0003Xr-Qg <= root@??? U=root P=local S=374\n", 98) = 98

These are the very last two lines in the strace output.
