Well, _one_ domain with multiple users can be driven with the exim
configuration shipped with your system - or have you mistyped
something?

Depends if you want the users to be "real" users (known to the system
exim is runningon) or virtual users (e.g. stored in a database or a
directory).

No, you don't need procmail in this case.

The exim configuration shipped wirh your system should normally
contain a line like this...

Normally, any MTA should accept mails only if the "local part" of the
address is a local username or "resolved" by consultating the alias
file(s)...

But maybe I misunderstood your question...?
