Hello,

You have to have a list with all your (local) users. Then use this list
with some email client to send your message.

Alternativly you may use this list in some special router (I think of
the redirect router) to address all your users via a single address.

An "allusers" router could look like this:

allusers:
domains = …
router = redirect
local_parts = allusers
file = /etc/exim/my-user-list

Be careful to restrict the senders somewhat.

Exim does not know *all* your users per se. Exim is able to decide, if a
given user is a local user or not, but Exim can't enumerate all your
users.

The more important question is: what do the users use to pick the mail
up? Exim is the MTA. In your old system, using vpopmail, that had a tool
to allow "bulletins".

You need to tell us what cPanel uses under the hood for mailbox access,
because it isn't Exim - and it might have an analogous tool.

cPanel folks, what say you?

You might find the day-to-day use easier if you install a decent Mailing
List Manager to work with Exim - even if you do not otherwise offer MLM
as a service.

They have a rich toolset for managing list membership, sub-lists,
combined lists, etc, as well as baulked delivery, unexpected bounces
(forwarding is a possibility?), headers, apparent source, inserted body
prefixes and suffixes, Reply-To: ...and all manner of other useful 'stuff'.

Consumes near-zero resources when idle, and you won't have to re-invent
any of it - just set the 'knobs'.
