-d output is written to the standard error stream. The only way you
could set this up would be to write a new program that daemonized
itself, then set up a standard error stream to some file (I suppose it
would work for the Exim log) and then call Exim with -bd and -v.

The problem is that the debugging output would be all mixed up. Even if
you use a separate file, two simultaneously arriving messages would
interleave the output and I suspect it would be very hard to make any
sense of it.
