I recommend sending your Exim logs through say rsyslog and then using
that to send to ES. You can pre-process the logs to get whatever
datstamp format you want.

If you use RELP or TCP to ship the logs you get local buffering for
free. If you use UDP to ship then that is just spraying logs out into
the unknown
