I have often the same problem, and it have been traced (in a
repeatable way) to exim trying to fetch the DNS record for
destination address, and some DNS being down or slow.

I do not know, except that i had a couple of weeks ago the same
problem, luckily-or unfortunaltely, at your choice- another site
using qmail had the same problem with the same address at the
same time ... so i am not sure it is exim dependent.
What does say the logs at the destination site ?
