Someone/something sent a SIGTERM to the exim receive process.

They would.

Exim does return a 421 code when hit with a SIGTERM:-
static void
command_sigterm_handler(int sig)
{
sig = sig; /* Keep picky compilers happy */
log_write(0, LOG_MAIN, "%s closed after SIGTERM", smtp_get_connection_info());
if (smtp_batched_input)
moan_smtp_batch(NULL, "421 SIGTERM received"); /* Does not return */
smtp_printf("421 %s: Service not available - closing connection\r\n",
smtp_active_hostname);
exim_exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

Something external to exim is firing signals at it - you need to track
that down on your system.
Other than those comments we can't really diagnose anything with such
sketchy information on how the systems are configured.
