Yea i'm pretty sure that he can become Chunin after all he did in the War, and then turned Jonin. As Kakashi said, no rank skipping. As to taking an exam, there's one OVA where he partakes but loses since he uses Sage mode which wasn't allowed. Considering this, if Naruto were to participate in one now (post-war) they would need so many rules specifically for naruto that there's no point in making him do an exam, just give the rank as a military award.
