I'm sorry, I misunderstood. :)

If you limit the rate at which your Exim instance accepts messages from your
regular software, that will likely also reduce the outgoing rate, so yes,
ratelimiting will still help a bit.

However, you may have to change how exim queue runs are performed, and
instead of doing regular bulk runs, have a dedicated queue runner that only
passes along single messages.
