Exim has no special option for delaying the initial SMTP greeting
message, but is much more flexible: You can delay a response wherever
you want during the SMTP dialogue by using the ACL modifier
delay. Have a look at chapter 39 of the fine manual:

http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.63/doc/html/spec_html/ch39.html

In the special case of delaying the initial SMTP greeting you could
setup an acl_smtp_connect ACL like this to delay any connection
unconditionally for 5 seconds:

# in the main section
acl_smtp_connect = connect_acl

# in the ACL section
connect_acl:
accept delay = 5s
