The error message comes from the TLS provider, either OpenSSL or GnuTLS.
Running { exim -bV } will tell you which.

Use top, watch what happens to the Exim processes while receiving the
mail?

My first hunch is that there's a memory leak and, while processing a
large mail, you run out of allocatable memory.

If you can rebuild the package with Exim linked against "the other" SSL
library, to see if it's constrained to just one, that would help.
