I don't even know that we know Deaton knew that. Talia appears to have taken the memories of everyone who was in the know about Malia. If Deaton knew, it's doubtful he does anymore.

EDIT: Morrell would have less reason to know than Deaton, and if Deaton wasn't trusted with that info, then Morrell certainly wouldn't. This is all predicated on the assumption that Talia took Deaton's memory as well, of course.

Talia can't take away a human's memories. She can only take away memories of another werewolf. So, I doubt she took Deaton's memories away from him. At least it has not been shown that a werewolf can take away a human's memories.

Deaton was Talia's emissary. I'm sure she told him. She may have needed him to know about Malia in case something happened and she needed his help. Talia wouldn't have told Morrell, however, Deaton might have.
