It shouldn't matter.  As long as a working one is installed, works in a
commonly expected manner, and is prepared to accept mail from whatever
user the job runs as.  That last one could be your issue, seeing as you
say it works.  Also, since you say you compiled it, perhaps check for
SELinux issues, perhaps on the cron jobs, too.

I'm not familiar with exim, though have used postfix and sendmail (the
two usual culprits).
