mailq probably won't work, anyway.  If you have your system configured
correctly and mailq is pointing to Exim, then it's still going to hit
the default config file and look in /var/spool/exim_incoming/input.  You
can probably use
mailq -C /etc/exim_outgoing.conf
Otherwise:
exim -C /etc/exim_outgoing.conf -bp
to view the queue.
