I took a look at Exim's FAQ (Q0022), went to the Exim specification (p.
248 f., 50.7 Database maintenance), went to /var/spool/exim/db and moved
the content of this directory to /tmp. Now this log line
> 2000-01-31 21:19:25 12FNID-0000FD-00 Failed to open wait-remote_smtp
> database: Invalid argument
has gone...

Maybe the old (2.12) database format wasn't compatible to the new
format...
