Success! your showing me about cygcheck solved it. Now I'm moving on
to configuring /etc/exim.conf, but I thought I'd document for a future
neophyte with the same problem.
The issue was with cyglber-2-3-0.dll and cygldap-2-3-0.dll not being
installed automatically with 'exim-4.66-1' package in setup.exe (2-2-7
dlls were installed instead). Perhaps this is an application
packaging bug for 'exim-4.66-1'?
The issue was not the PATH environmental variable (which I already had
set correctly before).
The issue does not seem to be the file permissions either (I set the
chown/chmod for /var/log/exim and /var/spool/exim back to
peatey:User/770 and the service still starts fine).
Thanks René, three cheers for the helpful cygwin mailing list!

Well, cygcheck couldn't find it in /bin, since those .dlls weren't
there. So I searched for the names in the Cygwin Package List and
installed 'libopenldap2_3_0' package. I then ran cygcheck again.
