As Jeremy pointed out already. You may have Exim put messages to some
domains into a separate queue implement the queue runner yourself,
calling `exim -M <id>` for each message ID in your rate limited queue.

(Never did this, but it should be flexible enough and I'd expect a
some-liner Shell Script as a queue runner.)

Some other approach I never used could be the event interface.
Maybe this can be used to call ratelimiting ACL after msg:delivery and
delay the exit of the delivery process. Combined with the several max_*
transport options this could work. Just guessing.
