You can check what it is using for the host name with
exim -bP primary_hostname

Please let me know if that fixes things. I know people are running Exim
successfully on 2.6.
Did you upgrade from 2.5? Is this a large machine? It is a busy machine?
We had problems on large 2.6 machines caused by a bug in one of the
file-caching tables. It all went like treacle at busy times. A change to
one of the kernel parameters is a workaround. I can provide details if
you think this might be relevant.
