Exim users - couple more questions here…

1) Does any cfg file change require a daemon restart?
Yes.

One way to minimize the need is to call frequently-changed things in with an lsearch or similar lookup against a flat-file, any of many kinds of 'DB' - even SQL. Also useful w/r privilege separation.


2) Can Exim be restarted in a graceful fashion such that daemon
downtime and lack of message processing is minimized?


Thanks in advance...

That's basically 'standard' with the rcd.d scripts on *BSD, MUST be similar on Linux etc.

No harm AFAIK even if one issues a sterner level of termination, as the listener stops, but each child process already handling a message 'usually' completes wot work is on its plate.
