It sounds somewhat like a file descriptors problem - maybe somewhere you
are leaking file descriptors. You can tweak up the numbers of
descriptors available by evil proc/sysctl changes. However exim should
not be leaking these (although a broken library could be doing that for
it).
Check the /proc/<pid>/fd directory for exim processes - especially the
daemon - to check how many are in use and if they are growing over time.
