A Bcc: header really is not a thing, as far as an MTA is concerned.
You have to go out of your way to make Exim do anything with a Bcc: header.

Putting "Bcc" on a message you are sending (using an MUA, which is something
external to Exim) *should* add the addresses you say there to the set of
addresses passed to Exim in the SMTP "RCPT" commands, but not include them
in the "To:" header list of addreses. It should *not* add a "Bcc:" header -
the whole point of Bcc is to not leak those extra destinations of the message
to every recipient.

Now: will Exim de-duplicate message destinations? Yes, as far as it can.
It's not perfect; there are situations it cannot. But it's quite likely
for simple configurations.
