Do you have a /dev/urandom? Is Exim linked with OpenSSL or GnuTLS?
I would expect OpenSSL to internally use /dev/urandom by default.
I don't know whether Exim explicitly uses /dev/random in some
configurations that include your server setup. Postfix explicitly
seeds the OpenSSL PRNG from /dev/urandom by default.
