Solved after read the manual.

Either edit /etc/exim4/conf.d/router/800_exim4-config_maildrop, comment
out the line contains check_local_user, or rename this file to
950_exim4-config_maildrop so its precedence lower than
900_exim4-config_local_user, or, add prefix “real-” to the
user@localhost so it will bypass maildrop.

I still don't know if it possible to config maildrop deliver mail to
/var/mail.
