NO. YOU DON'T NEED TO. 

exim already provides /usr/sbin/sendmail (this is handled through dpkg
diversions in Debian, IIRC). Any MTA package does. The next thing to do 
is to see that you can send mail from the command-line, using:

  mail -s test123 you at gnubie.com </dev/nulll

If this doesn't work, you may need to configure exim. Consider
/var/log/exim/mainlog (IIRC) and dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

This is also a Linux / Debian question and not an Asterisk one...
