It doesn't as shipped, but it can; see below.

imho, update-exim4.conf(8) is about as clear as it could be about the answer
to that question:

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
       update-exim4.conf       evaluates       these        patterns
in
       /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf:
[...]
      dc_localdelivery
              name  of the default transport for local mail delivery.
Defaults
              to  mail_spool  if  unset,  use  maildir_home  for  delivery
to
              ~/Maildir/.
