The Debian Policy Manual states that "the interface to send a mail
message is /usr/sbin/sendmail", so you are guaranteed to be safe here.
(At least, if you aren't then you're entitled to file a very annoyed bug
report.)
Quite a lot of fairly high-profile developers use postfix rather than
exim, so I'd be surprised if most such bugs hadn't been shaken out by
now.
