How should I configure exim to deliver mail to cyrus mbox (it is diffrent mbox) or how should I configure cyrus to work with exim. My debian is 2.2r3.

In exim.conf you need to configure a TRANSPORT similar to:

------------------------------------------
cyrus_delivery:
  driver = pipe
  command = "/usr/sbin/cyrdeliver ${local_part}"
  envelope_to_add = true
  return_path_add = true
  return_output
  prefix = ""
  user = cyrus
------------------------------------------

Then you need a DIRECTOR that uses that transport. I use the smartuser
driver, because there are no user accounts on the machine. It is better
to use the localuser driver if your e-mail users all have accounts on
the mail server machine:

----------------------------------------
localuser:
  driver = smartuser
  transport = cyrus_delivery
-------------------------------------------
