Actually it was an error for us, in the sense the email was not
delivered but stayed in the receiving Exim input dir, and it was
delivered only minutes (e.g. 37 minutes) later. This could be sped up to
"almost immediately after the first try" by running the exim -M <mid>
command).

Of course, I did restart Exim via

systemctl stop exim

(wait a few seconds)

systemctl start exim

I've tried several times, including deleting contents of
/var/spool/exim/db before starting the service. This did not help.

However, this error went away after downgrading Exim to 4.93 so we do
not encounter it anymore.
