This is likely to be the result of a known issue with Google's TCP Fast
Open setup - see e.g.
https://blog.apnic.net/2021/07/05/tcp-fast-open-not-so-fast/
Exim 4.93 changed the default for the "hosts_try_fastopen" transport
option to be "*", and the default for the
net.ipv4.tcp_fastopen_blackhole_timeout_sec sysctl changed from 3600
(i.e. an hour) to 0 at some point between the kernel versions in Debian
buster (10) and bullseye (11).
A workaround is to add something similar to "hosts_try_fastopen = !
*.l.google.com" to your SMTP transports.
