I believe I have the same problem.  One server of mine stopped to send
email 3 days ago.  Today when I investigated if everything was
allrigth I found many exim4 process processing email, and some
zombies.

I have killed them all tried to restart exim4 to no avail.

I have started exim4 with "exim4 -d -q -qq".  The last interesting
messages where:

193.136.166.70 in hosts_avoid_esmtp? no (option unset)
  SMTP>> EHLO zilda.tagus.ist.utl.pt
waiting for data on socket

I have done cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail and returned 0.
I will try to recover the server without rebooting the machine or
turning off TLS on exim4.

Do you need more information?
