Why, there are no daemons on the glorious worlds of the Tau Empire, comrade! Their absence is but another proof of the superiority of the Greater Good!

Not particularly, but there are probably some client races that have Psykers. Can't forget there are worlds of Humans in the Empire. Either way, Daemons don't reallllly happen that often in there. They're no doubt aware of them, but they might not fully grasp the concept.

Not really. Generally speaking daemonic invasions require powerful psychics, arcane rituals and sorcery, or a magical McGuffin in order to properly invade the material realm from the immaterium.
The Tau aren't psychically potent enough to exploit as conduits into the real world, they don't provide enough fuel for the fire.

The T'au have very weak presence in the Warp and can't produce psykers, therefore they ignore Chaos and are ignored by it in return. What little Chaos influence might be felt across their Empire is due to corruption among client races, but given that the T'au remain firmly in control of the higher echelons of power this has not had the chance of causing serious damage (yet).
Considering that the Tau have client species that are pure psykers, such as the Niccassar, and have yet to experience a single recorded instance of Chaos incursion is very impressive.
The universe didn't think of that, therefore it didn't happen. The universe is a powerful force in Warhammer 40K. It is also the reason why everyone is fighting on the ground instead of in space for the most part and why a single isolated planet with a STC has not reached the singularity and solved the problems of the universe.
STC?
A super advanced piece of technology which is quasi sentient, able to make literally anything, including all of the super advanced technology that mankind had before the fall. Every colony had one at one point in time. So, one single surviving colony which had one should have in the many thousands of years since reached the singularity and thus solve the problems with the Galaxy. Except it didn't happen. Because the universe. The universe apparently forgot.
