This is no error. Look in your configuration-file for the retry-rules.
There you have defined (probably by default) after which amount of time
the delivery of an email is retried if it failed before. So if delivery
has failed, Exim won't try to deliver it again one minute later - even
if you restart Exim manually, maybe not before 60 minutes are gone. So
if you're queue is run manually before 60 minutes are reached or because
your queue is run automatically each 30 minutes, then this message appears.
