Hello,
I am reassigning this to pbuilder becase afaict exim does as nothing
special, the corresponding code is this in src/readconf.c:

if (!route_finduser(sptr, &pw, &uid))
      log_write(0, LOG_PANIC_DIE|LOG_CONFIG_IN, "user %s was not found", sptr);

with route_finduser in src/route.c using getpwnam().
