Nothing happens after 60 seconds.
I have checked this already.

The queue runner just will not start anymore.

Earlier logfiles, at the time it still worked, showing "Start queue run",
"End queue run" - every 30 minutes (was default on my system). Since a few
weeks it (exactly since my last online-updates), it isnt coming up after the
first run/finish.

That's what it does if there's nothing in the queue to deliver.

Looks just like mine. Since you have started exim with -bd, the main process
will open up port 25 and start accepting mail like any good mail server
does. The -q1m command means that every 60 seconds, a queue runner will run
and check to see if there is anything in the queue that needs to be
delivered at this time. If there is nothing to deliver, it will exit and log
"End queue run:".

What would be a bug is if after waiting the 60 seconds, it ran the queue
runner again.. so what happens if you just wait 60 seconds with the -bd -q1m
command line?
