If you turned off DNS lookups, how do you propose that the message be
sent to it's recipients?
Read section 3.5 of the spec to understand how Exim handles delivery of
mail.
You've probably got one or more addresses in the recipient list that have
broken DNS configurations that are taking extremely long times to resolve
or fail, or you've got a problem with your own DNS server(s) and are
seeing delays as your system falls back to the next nameserver in
resolv.conf
