as you didn't post the relevant parts of your exim.conf I guess that you
didn't read the notes in the compile process of mailman. There you'd
have had the possibility to copy & paste the mailman-concerning entries
for the exim.conf, which I post as quotation below:

The integration works flawless and you don't have to fiddle around with
/etc/mail/aliases as you're supposed to with postfix and sendmail. Just
give exim the domains mailman is concerned with (very easy to set up
virtual domains with that) and it will figure out if the address is
concerned with a list or not.
