Gmail probably delivered two copies of the message in a single
connection. Check the headers of the two copies you received. If they
were properly split, they'll have different $message_exim_ids (preceded
by "id") in the Received: header.

Spamassassin is usually going to cost you an order of magnitude more
load than anything exim does itself. Your solution will result in
multiple spamassassin scans for the same message. You should seriously
consider implementing the "recipient class" splitting described in that
wiki page.

See the documentation in chapter 39: the "authenticated" condition is
always false if the connection wasn't authenticated. It only does a
string comparison against the list for authenticated connections. So the
ACL you have will never fire. Try this instead:

   warn    condition     = ${lookup mysql{MY_QUERY}{$value}}
          !authenticated = *
           message       = X-Spam-Score: $spam_score ($spam_bar)
           spam          = nobody:true
