For clarification: "exim -bP log_selector" does not show all enabled
selectors, it shows the value of the respective main configuration
setting. e.g. if log_selector is not set it shows an empty value,
instead of exim's compile-time defaults[1]. So unless the command
shows "-delay_delivery" the respective logging option is set.
