IMHO exim should reuse the connections.

But you can try to run exim with:

exim -bd -qq10m

exim will do do a two-step queuerun with this setting, it routes all
messages first, remembers the target-hosts, and reuses the connection
more efficiently.

you can also try to use

queue_smtp_domains = +!local_domains

This should have the same effect.
