The best hosting practice would be to monitor exim usage on the server, check the exim logs at /var/log/exim_mainlog to find out the activity causing load. You can run ps auxw to see exim processes.
Disabling exim is a temporary solution, you can do so by chmoding the exim binary to 000. Otherwise, stop exim service and uncheck it from "WHM >> Service Manager".
