Take a look at /usr/share/doc/exim/spec.txt.gz and search for the string 'frozen'. Basically, a message marked frozen could not be delivered, nor could it be bounced back to the sender. It is possible that this is due to a long term network outtage (exim keeps trying periodically, so it would have to be a pretty major outtage) or a misconfiguration. You could try doing a 'exim -M <message_id>' where <message_id> is the string like 13kqJX-0000UX-00 that identifies the message in the queue and to mail servers elsewhere. That command will cause exim to process the frozen message. Of course, it still might not be deliverable, as the outtage or misconfiguration might not have been fixed.
you could also inspect the headers of the message to see where the message is going, which will give you a hint as to why it's not getting there. The headers are in /var/spool/exim/input/<message_id>-H, while the message contents are in /var/spool/exim/input/<message_id>-D. You might also try grepping for the message ID in /var/log/exim/*log for some indication as to why it's failing. But anyway, read spec.txt. It will tell you all about frozen message and a whole lot more.
