Probably the easiest way is to get dovecot to create the files. Look at 
either http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Exim or 
http://wiki.dovecot.org/LMTP/Exim for how to tell Exim to deliver 
messages to dovecot. Dovecot will then store the file in whatever mail 
storage format you dictate (compress maildirs as you want, or its own 
dbox format).

Basically, LDA or LMTP allow you to decouple the mail delivery task 
(exim) from the mail storage task (dovecot).
