I think you need to firstly look at how you are injecting the messages
into Exim, as this may be a significant factor. Are you doing it by:

a) calling exim|sendmail on the command line?

b) building a batch SMTP (BSMTP) file and using that?

c) connecting to yourserver:25 and running SMTP sessions?

d) exim -bS locally?

e) something else?


Chances are that you would be best doing it with (b) if you aren't
already.

That's >600/min. Not all that bad. Presumably it's on a high bandwidth
connection?

Set the "queue_only" option, and then start lots of queue runners (exim
-q).
