Use the -b option of fetchmail, which controls how many messages to push
into an SMTP listener before the connection is torn down and
reestablished. With a default smaller than the number of 10 messages
that seems to make your Exim unhappy, you should be fine.
This can be either given in the command line, as in:
% fetchmail -d 300 -b 5
or by setting `batchlimit' in your ~/.fetchmailrc file.
It's all in the manual page of fetchmail ;-)
