I have committed a fix to svn where the daily cron job first tries the
process with start-stop-daemon, and falls back to a plain su if the
invocation via start-stop-daemon fails for some reason.
Code:
if [ -x /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb ]; then
cd $SPOOLDIR/db || exit 1
if ! find $SPOOLDIR/db -maxdepth 1 -name '*.lockfile' -or -type f \
-printf '%f\0' | \
xargs -0r -n 1 \
start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb \
--chuid Debian-exim:Debian-exim -- $SPOOLDIR > /dev/null; then
# if we reach this, invoking exim_tidydb from start-stop-daemon has
# failed, most probably because of libpam-tmpdir is in use
# (see #373786 and #376165)
find $SPOOLDIR/db -maxdepth 1 -name '*.lockfile' -or -type f \
-printf '%f\0' | \
su - --shell /bin/bash \
--command "xargs -0r -n 1 /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb $SPOOLDIR > /dev/null"
\

Piotr, can you please try if this works on your system with
libpam-tmpdir?
Greetings
