There isn't a way to do that, but it should not be difficult to add, as
long you can find an easy way of generating the digits. In Exim 4 there
is $tod_epoch. I guess you could take the least 8 digits of that and
just try again if there was a clash. I am shortly about to do some
"final tidies" to the Exim 4 code. I'll see if this really is easy to
add.

... by the operating system, which won't create a new file with the same
name as an old one.
