Maybe you want to check the branch hs/systemd-units, there I started to
collect my effort to provide native systemd units for Exim.
I'd be happy if we can join our efforts.
Regarding your question: I think, "exec" is the right answer for the
current Exim versions. (Somewhen I started working on "Type=notify", but
that's nothing that's ready yet.)
