Are you running queue runners on exim? ie do you start exim with "exim -bd -q10m" or something similar? Does your retry log have something like the following in it? 2007-09-20 10:19:31 Start queue run: pid=31594 2007-09-20 10:19:31 End queue run: pid=31594 Are there any logs of the event we can look at? What happens when you force the queue are 10 minutes?
