No.  After stopping the server it shouldn't still be running.

Well, it is possible (probable, even) that cron runs an exim "queue
runner" process periodically.  If you have a lot of mail in the queue
to be delivered then you could get several delivery processes running
at once.  If there is some problem (eg network blocked by ISP) then
the delivery processes could run for a considerable amount of time
before terminating.
