Aaah my mistake, kind of. Sorry.

Your Exim delivers to a pipe to "deliver" which delivers to a socket.
My unpatched Exim is doing LMTP over TCP, and I'd forgot about that.

My patch allows:

cyrus_lmtp:
  driver = lmtp
  socket = /var/imap/socket/lmtp

..and is in the archives of the exim-users list if not this one!
