You'll need to delete the files directly from /var/spool/exim/input/* and /var/spool/exim/msglog/*. You can di it most simply using grep and piping to rm, this would probably do it:

grep -ri "domain\.com" /var/spool/exim/input/* | rm -fv

Try:

exiqgrep -ir <domain> | xargs -n1 exim -Mrm

that should remove any e-mail that is in the queue that is waiting to be delivered to POP accounts at <domain>.
