Are you referring to /etc/cron.daily/exim?
As far as I understand this cron.daily script is for routine tasks that are carried out even when the machine will never be connected to some network. There fore you should not remove that entry.
What runs every time you dial up and connect is etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim.
