I'm afraid I don't have an Exim only solution.
you could set up an extra mail server and direct the large messages
there. if you have a gateway to the Internet supporting QoS (e.g., a
Linux based firewall), you could set it up so that the secondary mail
server only gets surplus bandwidth.
the extra mail server can run on the same physical machine, using a
separate IP address. you need to take care specifying Exim's paths, but
it's not that hard, something like:
local_interfaces = 129.240.64.2
ROOT = /var/exim-large
spool_directory = ROOT
# format of $tod_log is "1995-10-12 15:32:29", we extract the day.
log_file_path = ROOT/log/%slog.${substr_8_2:$tod_log}:syslog
pid_file_path = ROOT/exim.pid
