It would be necessary to know whether atime recording has been turned off
(the noatime option in mount (as seen in the old Linux release whose man
page I happened to read) and the moral equivalent in the fstab). Possibly
one knows that because the interval seems very large.

This "feels like" another great opportunity for per OS and per OS version
code to creep into Exim (and in the case of Linux, possibly
per-distribution).
