As explained in the last three paragraphs of chapter 3, Exim does not
have per-host queues. It is designed for use in situations where most
messages (98% at our site - and at John Henders' site, as posted here a
couple of days ago) can be delivered immediately.

Then you should get it to give the messages to Exim with the -odqs
option. That will route the messages but not deliver them. Exim then
remembers which messages are waiting for which host, and the next time
it has a connection to a host, it will attempt to deliver multiple
messages.
