You're running exim 4.30. Upgrade to exim 4.34. ChangeLog 4.31/79
reads:
79. The ultimate address timeout was not being applied to errors that involved
a combination of host plus message (for example, a timeout on a MAIL
command). When an address resolved to a number of possible hosts, and they
were not all tried for each delivery (e.g. because of hosts_max_try), a
message could remain on the queue longer than the retry timeout.
