Here's an educated guess: your script terminates, so that that systemd decides your service has ended. In such a case it kills any left-over processes of the service, and this will include the exim process forked off into the bg, because it is attributed to your script's context. Thus the exim queue runner might be forked off, but it wil be immediately terminated by systemd again... It's one of the reasons why exim shouldn't do what it is doing there. Running priv daemon code as forked bg children from differently privileged user code is just a massively bad idea.
