Do the retried messages ever succeed ?
If the problem is that Google is not accepting from *one* of your IP
addresses, I am surprised if the retries ever succeed for that customer.

If this is indeed the problem, it would be better to have an exim router
*on that host* that passes customer1's messages to another of your hosts,
which can then pass the message to google without problems.
(I am conflating "host" with sending IP address here).
