That code is defined in sysexits.h (on Solaris 2) as
#define EX_CANTCREAT 73 /* can't create (user) output file */
Exim does already treat code 75, defined as
#define EX_TEMPFAIL 75 /* temp failure; user is invited to retry */
as a temporary error.

You can patch transports/smtp.c at line 837, which reads
addr->transport_return = (rc == EX_TEMPFAIL)? DEFER : FAIL;
and change it to something like
addr->transport_return = (rc == EX_TEMPFAIL || rc == EX_CANTCREAT)?
DEFER : FAIL;
I have made a note to upgrade the driver to allow a list of temporary
codes to be configured. That will make it more flexible.
