Well, the error is telling you that the pipe_transport is unset in 
system_aliases.  Your file seems to indicate that that is not true -- 
it is set.  So you need to debug it and make sure it is using the 
config file you think it is using.  Play detective based on what you 
know.  Restart exim (% kill -HUP <exim-pid>) as a starting point.
