Well, in case of large installation you would probably go to the path
of murder (;), but you will need at least local submission agent on every
node to provide /usr/sbin/sendmail.

You know that easy/not easy is not a point here, do you?

But you are most welcomed to join the team on the mailling list
and help our users with exim+cyrus configuration ;))).  Or you can
write README.exim4 which can be included in package?
