If it's really an OS fault with no file handles...

http://www.exim.org/exim-html-2.00/doc/html/spec_9.html#SEC264
    queue_run_max option


    Option: queue_run_max
    Type: integer
    Default: 5 


    This controls the maximum number of queue-running processes that the
    Exim daemon will run simultaneously. It does not, however, interlock
    with other processes, so additional queue-runners can be started by
    other means, or by killing and restarting the daemon. 



maybe this *might* help... otherwise change log_level and see. and then perhaps
also try Philip's suggestion of using the delivery test mode..
