Yep, now it's working. Debian exim/sa-exim/spamassassin solution lets SA run as user Debian-exim. During some investigations, I found out that bayes wasn't running at all (due to unspecified db directory). At that time, I must have run spamassassin manually under root, thus creating one of the files in the db dir with root ownership.
