You should have exim set up as "smarthost relay with local delivery"
(this is an option in eximconfig).

rejected mail?
Just for refrence, my .fetchmailrc looks like :
# MDA needs recepients as argument ;-)
# (%T is used for the local delivery name)
poll <host> protocol pop3
user "<me>" , password "<pw>"
is "dman" here
options fetchall , stripcr , mda "/usr/sbin/exim %T"
Having just re-read my comment (included above) I think your MDA
(exim) is not being told the local delivery name, and thus doesn't
know what to do with it.
