Look at the end of the third line in your log file:

MYSQL connection failed: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

Unless your MySQL is setup to not require authentication at all, I would
guess you may need to change these lines:

# Username and password to connect to mysql server
#MYSQL_AUTHUSER=root
#MYSQL_AUTHPASSWORD=XXXXXXX

Otherwise, I don't know exactly what to suggest except use the mysql
command-line tool to connect to MySQL with the same credentials as Exim and
send a query and see why the server is disconnecting.
