This is now understood, and I've made some changes for 4.11 which should
improve things.
Executive summary: Exim delivers a message successfully, notices that
there is another message waiting for the same host, so starts a new
delivery process, passing it the SMTP connection. The new process routes
the addresses in the new message - but there's a delay on one or more of
them (DNS timing out, typically). By the time Exim comes to try to use
the SMTP connection, the server has timed out.
