That is exactly your problem. 'defer_ok' tells exim that it is ok, if
spamd doesn't react in time, e.g. because it is down.
If you don't want exim to deliver mail if spamd is down, get rid of the
'defer_ok' qualifier. Exim then tells the offering mta to resend the
message at a later point in time.
The same holds true for virus scanner usage, of course. You don't want
any 'defer_ok' qualifier there neither.
