That needs to be asked on a dovecot list - it’s the dovecot side that’s doing the logging at this point, not Exim.
For reference,
https://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA states "Normally Dovecot logs everything through its log process, which is running as root. dovecot-lda doesn't, which means that you might need some special configuration for it to log anything at all."
