<http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-generic_options_for_transports.html>

  initgroups    Use: transports    Type: boolean    Default: false


If this option is true and the uid for the delivery process is
provided by the transport, the initgroups() function is called when
running the transport to ensure that any additional groups associated
with the uid are set up.

Turn on that _Transport_ option for the transport which needs to read
the key file.
