Off the top of my head, <waving hands around>, perhaps Exim is counting 
the Maildir/new folder that it's actually delivering the messages into, 
and you might try setting quota_directory = Maildir ? See 
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.40/doc/html/spec_26.html#IX1995 (or 
similar for your version).

Is your Dovecot installation also monitoring/enforcing quotas? If not, 
your users can go over quota if they want to anyway, by storing messages 
(e.g. sent or draft messages).

Cheers,

John.
