It looks like you take incoming messages, send them to spamc and spamc
in turn sends them back to Exim via a second invocation of Exim.

(It's the "classical" AMaViS model.)

So from exims POV the mail is there twice, Exim can't know that it's the
message it has already seen.)

Way out?

Use spamc as transport filter.
Or use SA-Exim.
Or use the spam capabilities in ACL.
