Very, very good question.

Do you have any users whose home directory is in /boot?
Do you have any expansions or lookups which could end up referring
to /boot?

Come to that, do you have any corresponding errors in the panic log at
the same time?

FTR, the word "boot" only exists in the Exim source code in comments,
man pages, the specification, appendfile.c (as part of the word
"reboot") and in perl.c as part of the Perl bootstrap code.

Whatever's tickling your instance, it's local to you by the looks of it.
Could you park strace on the running process (or even better run it
under strace for a while) to see where the call is coming from?

I currently have my test instance running as:

strace -fFvtt -o exim.strace /usr/sbin/exim -bd -q2m

I see no "/boot" in the output.
