This is not an Exim issue, neither is it even a pop3 issue (which has 
nothing to do with Exim either).

However, here's one way you might do it, with a recent enough syslog-ng:

filter f_pop3_line { match("pop3-access string"); };

log {
        ...
        filter(f_pop3_line);
        destination(discard);
        flags(final);
        ...
};

Alternatively, something along the lines of:

filter f_pop3_line { not match("pop3-access string"); };

log {
      ...
      filter(f_pop3_line);
      filter(other_filters_to_select_pop3_log_lines_you_want);
      destination(pop3_logfile);
      ...
};

All untested.
