failed to open DB file /var/spool/exim/db/wait-remote_smtp: File exists
because this file is only used for outgoing mails ;)

Have you changed your configuration or something?
The file should be owned by the exim user and the remote_smtp transport
should run as the same user.

If you changed something, just delete the db-file and see if it happens
again, exim does not depend on these files.
