That is already supported perfectly well.

ametzler at argenau:~$ man update-exim4.conf | grep -3 CFILEMODE
NOTES
  update-exim4.conf  changes  the  file permissions of the output file to
  the value of the environment variable CFILEMODE. If CFILEMODE  is  nei‐
  ther set in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf nor in the environment it
  defaults to 0644.  Change this to 0640 if  you  are  keeping  sensitive
  information (LDAP credentials et. al.) in there.
