It does sound plausible that it is related.

How was the message given exim - command-line or smtp?
Was it first given to exim before, or after, the suspend/resume?
How long was the suspend?
How long did you wait, in the hung-at-final-dot condition, before
using pkill?

An experiment of a short suspend, and waiting for longer than that,
would be of interest - assuming the issue can be created on demand.

I'm not a regular user of suspend myself, and don't trust it to
function well enough on this system. If you can easily repro and
are prepared to build & test variants, this would be useful.
Even just disbling the CLOCK_MONOTONIC code would be a good step.
