Try running these commands in order:

service exim stop
service exim start

The "service exim stop" will make sure that exim is not running and will remove the file /var/lock/subsys/exim (which is causing the locked subsys message). The start does what you think, starts exim back up again. If it goes down after that, then you need to start looking through the /var/log/exim/mainlog for anything that would cause it not to start again.

User contacted me to fix the problem. The cause of the problem was not existing directory of exim logs. That was fixed by:

mkdir /var/log/exim
chown mail:mail /var/log/exim
