Try repeating the SMTP session by hand in debug mode - ie
    /usr/sbin/exim -d -bs


and see where it dies.

I'll lay good odds on it being a corrupt db file involved (especially if
you have done some form of upgrade that could hit your db/dbm libraries
- ie the latest glibc upgrade), so disposing of the hint files may be
worth doing, and checking any db files you use. However running the
transaction in debug mode should show you where it explodes.

Yes, but not necessarily in exim.
