Thanks for the hints.

I checked these parameters but it must be something else: those
parameters are unset in my configuration (checked
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated) and default values should allow two
emails sent directly…

This makes me think your second proposal is the best for me: it is
indeed very simple to adjust /etc/default/exim4 to run the queue more often.
