Run exim using -qq instead of -q; eg "exim -bd -qq15m" or whatever, or
set queue_smtp_domains appropriately.

Then queue-runs will be done in two stages; the first stage routes all
mail and delivers local mail. The second stage delivers SMTP mail.

Exim only delivers multiple mails down one pipe if it "knows" that there
are multiple mails pending to that destination, by having the records in
the hints databases.
