tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog (if you can with that load)
If not, (assuming this is cpanel)
service chkservd stop
killall -9 exim (probably several times before it actually gets them all)
Then
tail -200 /var/log/exim_mainlog |more
That should give some idea of what's going on.

If you see a lot of mail processes, someone is either
1. Sending massive bulk emails (most probably spam)
2. You are receiving a lot of emails at the same time. We had seen this issue before when someone did a joe's job on one of our clients.
