You need to check your system log to see what is happening. I would do
following as root.
1. apt-get install mc
2. poke around /var/log with mc to see all what is happening.
3. check /etc/exim.conf especially around procmail.
exim use fetchmail as local MDA only if it is configured so.
procmail_pipe:
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/bin/procmail -d ${local_part}"
return_path_add
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
check_string = "From "
escape_string = ">From "
user = $local_part
group = mail
good luck.
