The text "User unknown" does not appear anywhere in Exim's source code. 
If any Exim installation is emitting it, it is because the configuration 
file has used that text. The default message for an unrouteable address 
is "unrouteable address".

However, I believe there are (or were) other MUAs/MTAs that overwrite
whatever message comes with a 550 error, replacing it with "User
unknown". There were certainly cases of this in the past.

It does not. At least, not as distributed by the Exim maintainers.
