I tried this before. I've just checked again and /var/mail is set for write access to all with the sticky bit set.
You also said you 666'd it, which is the wrong permissions, as it would miss the x bits and deny permission to list it in a sort of way (it's late and I'm fuzzy on the exact meaning of the x bit for directories). I think it should be 0775 and owned by exim.exim, from what you've said. Is it? Paste lines if you can.
If you su to exim, can you make a file in that directory? touch an existing one? Paste lines and let us know what you find.
