I don't use Exim but I gave this a quick go, I can't repeat it here. I'm on amd64 using the default /etc/exim/configure file with just the line "smtp_load_reserve = 50" added. Which arch? Anything in exim's logs? Any more info if you do debug logging in exim? (-d option to run in foreground). Was your load actually above the value you had configured anyway?
