As far as I understand, QT is counted from invocation of Exim binary,
but first log line is written when mail body is completed, i.e. when
Exim gets the EOF terminator. Probably your cron job was started at 04:00
and completed at 04:29, so Exim was waiting 29 min for EOF on input pipe,
consequently QT is 29 min.
