There's an Exim driver for using LMTP (assuming you're using Cyrus 2.x and a
fairly recent Exim), e.g:
cyrus_delivery:
driver = lmtp
command = "/usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver -l"
user = cyrus

If your director for local deliveries has 'driver = localuser' set it will
check that the local_part is a valid local Unix username. It is probably best
to use 'driver = smartuser' instead, e.g:
cyrus_user:
driver = smartuser
transport = cyrus_delivery
Hope this helps,
