Hm. During exim_tidydb the database(s) are locked. I didn't check
thoroughly now, but I believe, Exim waits for the lock only for a short
period of time, if at all, and then proceeds without the using the
database (the db files are *hints* only).

Do you logs indicate that there was a message reception in process
during the exim_tidydb job? Maybe you can split the cronjob into
multiple "subtasks", to isolate the part of the job which runs at about
the same time as you lose the D-files.
