Oh, that. It never has been and never will be a good idea to use a MTA (this has absolutely nothing to do with exim) to receive mail on a machine that is not permanently connected to the internet, unless you have a very specific setup with another MX that will relay to you on demand. Setting up a MX that cannot usually reached is bad. Once you use a separate MX in a different location polling your mail is usually more convenient than initiating a queue run on the other server to relay to you. Since the OP wanted to use "exim instead of procmail" to have an *easy* mail setup this is quite clearly not the setup he was looking for.
