Looks like mis-configuration.

Yes, if there is an mis-configuration, but not wrong enough to prevent
Exim from accepting the message, this is the expected behaviour.
exipick
will show you your messages (the spool directory doesn't matter)

(Unrelated here, but for completness: you should set keep_environment =
in your configuration.)

Do you start several instances of the Daemon? That's not the usual
setup. The last instance you start using -C …? For security reasons this
instance will run under some restrictions.
Normally you'd start one instance, listening on all ports (25, 465 in
your case)

Search for "mysql" in your configuration. I think, you'll find something
like ${lookup mysql{….}}. To make this work, your Exim needs to be built
with mysql support.
exim -bV
tells you what lookup types are supported. Some distros package
two different versions, a light and a heavy one. Did you build the Exim
from the sources? If so, you, you need to find MYSQL in the
Local/Makefile and enable it. If you have a distro package, check if
there is a package, supporting mysql.
Or, but probably not very likely, a simple configuration issue, syntax
error in defining a lookup. Try posting the output
exim -bP config
*but check for passwords or similiar stuff*.
