Please give proof that the log file still is open, which exim process has it opened, and what the exim process is doing while keeping the log file open. > So, yes, this ist a bug which still exists in the stable version.

This is not an acceptable fix as it disrupts exim operation and will not help since I suspect that the log file is not kept open by the smtp listener process. All other exim processes are "short lived". > And a delivery time of more than 24h is not expected. But it happens.
