 I suspect such combination of arguments "-N success,delay,failure" is
 specific for Postfix and/or Sendmail, but not for Exim. As Exim's manual
 says, "-N" suppresses delivery on transport level. Then, "-V" is unknown
 option for Exim. Is any mail passed out after such submission?

 Probably -N.. and -V.. should be removed for submission to Exim.
 It can be done in wrapper script.

 If Exim is not started mail processing due illegal CLI options,
 ACLs would not be executed. Nevertheless, try to set world-write
 permissions to log directory.
