What is your CRON entry: /etc/cron.d/exim
---
# /etc/cron.d/exim: crontab fragment for exim

# Run queue every 15 minutes
08,23,38,53 *     * * *     mail   if [ -x /usr/sbin/exim -a -f /etc/exim/exim.conf ]; then /usr/sbin/exim -q ; fi
---
So it should be every 15 minutes :)

What is your /var/log/exim/mainlog

Is it many hours on your server or your ISP has problem?  

Debian mailing list server has had problem recently which made mail to
pass through hours.
