I've not found one in a quick look (you'd think 'nullmailer' might fit the bill, with a name like that, but you'd be wrong). I'm curious however what it is you have installed that depends on exim, or the mail-transport-agent virtual package. I have no MTA installed on my machine, and no breakages. Would you mind posting the output of 'aptitude why mail-transfer-agent' or 'aptitude why exim', whichever is more enlightening?
