is rumored to have said:

I have some instances, which generates mail from stdin
(ie something like "echo bla|mail root")
and recently I found that there exists additional empty line in such
emails, ie instead of
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
bla
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I have

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
bla

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I am rather confusing with it. Is this intentional?

That's almost certainly being done before submission to Exim by the 'mail' program. Some versions enforce a requirement that messages end with a blank line. There are also some delivery agents that add a blank line when delivering to mbox files which MUAs may or may not treat as part of the message boundary.
