The error most likely means you've got too many emails in your queue, and the server has given up on waiting. The fix is to manage the queue manually.

I only have like 200 messages in the mqueue according to exim -bpc and I still cannot open the mail queue admin panel. It used to work but now when I click on it its just empty. Does not time out but just empty. Any ideas?

Try this script from the shell:
empty_exim_que.sh

#!/bin/sh

if [ $1 ]; then
        echo "`exim -bpru | tr '\n' + | sed -e "s/++/=/g" | tr -d + | tr = '\n' | grep "$1" | awk {'print $3'} | xargs exim -Mrm | wc -l` E-Mails deleted"
else
        echo "If you want to delete ALL the `exim -bpc` E-Mails on mail queue, give this command:"
        echo "exim -bpru | awk {'print $3'} | xargs exim -Mrm"
        echo ""
        echo "If you want to delete only mails with an specific sender/recipient, use:"
        echo "$0 [sender/recipient]"
