Those settings only apply to queue runs, by default Exim attempts immediate
delivery outside the scheduled queue run whenever it receives a submission.
You can halt all immediate delivery by setting the queue_only option,
though in that case you may want to increase the frequency of the queue
runner(s) when you start the Exim daemon. I think this is explained in some
detail in the documentation for the remote_max_parallel option.
