I think you are trying to do it the wrong way.
Fetchmail gets the mail from the pop3 server and then uses smtp (ie it makes a
connection to port 25 of localhost) to send the mail on. You set up exim as
the server for messages to port 25. It receives these messages and delivers
them.
Obviously for stuff being received with fetchmail you probably want to deliver
them locally - but exim can also be set up to take messages from your mail
client and then pass them on to your ISP etc.
