look at your sql string and make sure it is looking at fields that exist in
the database, also make sure that the database does have this result....you
can try and manually run the sql statement filled in with the correct values
for the person its failing for. also try to test delivery to this account
and take a look at the output.....

exim -d -bt user@???

will give you details of what happens and you can check where it fails. (you
can use -d+all to give you more details) (man exim)
