The groups are listed in the file /etc/groups, which you should have.
/etc/exim.conf should be owned by SYSTEM, with group Administrators
(which may also be known as "root")
So just type
chown 18:544 /etc/exim.conf
You must be in Administrators for this command to work.
You can then launch the exim daemon again.
