Could very well be. Not being able to fork a process is certainly a bad
thing.

Start at /var/log/exim/mainlog and/or /var/log/exim/paniclog (or wherever
your server is set to store logfiles).
Try and duplicate the problem if it's not immediately obvious by the
content of those logs. Try to use some of the debugging tools that exim
provides (like the -d# option). Basically try and research the problem a
bit on your own. You're probably going to be able to do a better job of
solving it than the rest of us who read this as a third-hand problem
report.
