If exactly the same log entry, then see below.  If subtly different,
please post it.  Also, you did use `/etc/init.d/exim4 reload`, right?
Just sending a HUP to the daemon won't work with split config files -
the maintainer scripts parse them, clean them up and then concatenate
them into a single file in /var/lib/exim4 that is then used.

So you have a pipe_transport defined in general, but the system_aliases
router hasn't been told to use it.

Hmm.  Do you have a file named /etc/exim4/exim.conf?  If so, that's
where you'll need to make that edit.  This file is used preferentially
if found.
