And you don't have any of the queue_* options set?

You might try running Exim in debug mode to see where the
problem lies.  Temporarily stop the daemon, clear out the SMTP
retry/wait databases (you can just rm them).  Start Exim on the
command line with the -d11 switch and inject a test message.
You will be able to see which part of the process is taking the
time.

(My first guesses are something DNS or ident related.  Firewall
silently dropping packets on port 113?  30 seconds is the
default Exim rfc1413_query_timeout.)
