Then do the second part of my suggestion. Use exim_fixdb at the
command line to delete the ratelimit database entry for the user.
Look at how you call ratelimit in your acl, to determine what key
to search for, and then delete.

See above. If you delete the record for that user, it all
starts at '0' for them, and a new ratelimit entry will be
created for them via how you already invoke ratelimit.

No change to your exim config is needed.
