This is an odd dep chain. It would seem that exim requires mysql for
some odd reason. mdadm doesn't, but does require that the system have
an smtp-daemon, which is a dep satisfied by exim, postfix, or
sendmail.

mostly, install sendmail or postfix, and you can then remove exim and
mysql without fear.
