logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf 2>&1 | grep -2 exim4

gives

reading config file cupsys
reading config info for /var/log/cups/*log
reading config file exim4-base
reading config info for /var/log/exim4/mainlog /var/log/exim4/rejectlog 
/var/log/exim4/paniclog
reading config file mysql-server
reading config info for /var/log/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql.log 
/var/log/mysql.err /var/log/mysql/mysql.err


I should say that this is after an exim3 -> exim4 upgrade.
