Depends how it's configured.  Look in your exim.conf.  In mine it defaults to 
deliver localy in /var/mail.  Here's where that is defined:

local_delivery:
   driver = appendfile
   file = /var/mail/$local_part
   delivery_date_add
   envelope_to_add
   return_path_add
   group = mail
   mode = 0660

I also do procmail and on my account use procmail to deliver to maildir 
format.

procmail:
   driver = accept
   check_local_user
   transport = transport_pipe_procmail
   require_files = ${local_part}:+${home}:+${home}/.procmailrc:+/usr/bin/procmail
   no_verify



transport_pipe_procmail:
   driver = pipe
   command = "/usr/bin/procmail"
   return_path_add
   delivery_date_add
   envelope_to_add
