I'm not a containers user myself, but Exim generally runs with the
assumption it needs to become anybody - for two reasons: opening
priv ports (25 is usually a restricted one) and delivery
into user's mailboxes. Therefore, suid root.

There's some notes in the docs on running in alternate modes,
(but I've never tried).
