Haven't tried that myself. Do the UIDs match between old and new
ssytems?

Removing the package won't flush your spool.
I suppose you read the exim manpage?
$ exim -qff

I suspect a configuration conflict is preventing delivery.
$ exim -Mvl <message id>
...should print the message log to stdout for diagnostic purposes.
