i can't answer your question, but here's some relevant advice for you:
exim doesn't scale. if you want performance, switch to postfix.
On what do you base this conlusion?
Several large ISP's in the UK use exim that I know of which seems
.
Unfortunately, I haven't seen anything in Exim that lets you customize
it's retry behavior based upon this. It does offer an error field in
the retry section, but it's only for some silly hard-coded failure types.
why should there be?
All 5xx codes are permanent failures. the MTA should bounce back

Shouldn't that be the MTA's job? I never understood why exim has such
brain-dead defaults as requring an admin to manually deal with frozen
messages. Every other MTA I have ever used has not even
, that's normal (at least, it is not wrong to do that). what to do in an
excess-quota situation is a local policy decision. some sites choose 5xx, some
choose 4xx.
But the *real* problem, I guess, is that I'm seeing so many 5xx's in
/var/spool/exim/msglog at *all*.
you shouldn't be seeing *ANY

no, postfix beats it.
qmail WAS the fastest several years ago. then postfix arrived.

Is there good documentation available for postfix? Last time I looked I
could not find anything close to the quality of exim's. I'd be happy if that
has changed

Here's a question that has always been bugging me.
Ever since we moved from smail to exim many years ago at my isp, exim
never seems to discard messages in the input queue.
Even though the single retry rule is the stock one (which retrys for
something like 4 days), we end up with stuff

term in Exim's documentation for more info.
You may enable Exim to automatically remove frozen messages after some
period with the following directive:
timeout_frozen_after = 3d

Yup. A lot of them are frozen.
If that is the case, have a look at the timeout_frozen_after
setting; this will
