I didn't modify /etc/logrotate.d/exim4-base.  It looks like this:

cat /etc/logrotate.d/exim4-base
/var/log/exim4/mainlog /var/log/exim4/rejectlog /var/log/exim4/paniclog {
         daily
         missingok
         rotate 10
         compress
         delaycompress
         notifempty
         create 640 Debian-exim adm
}
