Because that's the way it is designed.

You haven't posted enough about your configuration to allow me to
comment properly. However, I GUESS that you are firing a lot of messages
into Exim at once, and it is creating a lot of processes to deliver
them. Perhaps you would get better performance if you added -odq to the
rsmtp command. Then Exim would just receive the messages and queue them.
After the rsmtp command, you can run "exim -q" which will then delivery
them one by one, and so use fewer processes.
