Yes. What seems to trigger the event is when using the
smtp_accept_max_per_host.
The problem when not using smtp_accept_max_per_host is that sites like for
example Yahoo (with qmail) suddenly occupies quite a few of my
connections.
Any ideas? Has anything changed in 3.22 when it comes to this?

Sadly, it seems quite hard to do. It's getting too much traffic.
Now, the machine has load, and I don't expect exim to do well under 1100
in load (hit that one yesterday when testing), but it seems extra slow.
