You will have to set up mailspool and queue directories, I
think.  Exim, like sendmail, delivers a single message by
default.  So you should be able to run it from procmail
by simply executing exim with the destination address 
as an argument.

It is, I believe, the "file" configuration item in the forwardfile
director section.

Is this just to see how exim filtering works or are you trying
to solve a specific problem that procmail can't?

Good luck,
