By default (config in example docs) Exim will create a mail box with
users permissions. You must allow users to create this mailbox.
You must not have a mailbox of the same username, but with a different
numeric user id. (A common trap for me.)

If its a normal RFC 4155 mailbox in Debian then:
su -c "touch /var/mail/$user" $user
chmod 600 /var/mail/$user
