The above is wrong. Assuming that

MAILMAN_USER = 'mailman'
MAILMAN_GROUP = 'mailman'

are from your exim config and 

--with-mail-gid=Debian-exim --with-cgi-gid=www-data

were options to configure, it should have been

--with-mail-gid=mailman

I.e. whateve you configure with --with-mail-gid must match
MAILMAN_GROUP.

Did you read the note at the beginning of section 6.2 which says in
part "The updated document is here:
http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html and is recommended over the
information in the subsections below if you are using Exim 4."

Well, you are coming here for help because we might be able to
understand what's in those logs, but not if we don't see them. The
apache logs aren't relevant to "can't post" issues, but the other's
are, so what's in them.
