No, he’s not “made” you do anything, he suggested some diagnostics be provided for the issue you’ve reported.
Luckily for you the message with the attachments has gone to Heiko directly but is stuck on the moderation queue for the mailing list, so I’ve checked it and there’s nothing compromising in there at all. I can release them to the list if you so desire.
Given Heiko is likely to be busy today running a release process, here’s the salient bits from your strace:

It’s successfully writing to the retry db, but then blows up.
Is /var, /var/spool or /var/spool/exim mounted on the SD card in your RPi rather than the external drive?
You still haven’t answered the question about how all these messages got into your system in the first place, which I would suggest is rather more troubling than not being able to deliver messages to remote systems that at present don’t want them…
