Try the following command (put a message into "msg" first) :

/usr/sbin/exim <your_user_name> < msg && echo "success" || echo "failure"

if exim exits successfully (returns 0) "success" will be printed,
otherwise "failure" will be printed.

If you don't see anything in mainlog when you do that, increase the
logging level in exim.conf so that you can see what is happening.
