It isn't run by a cron job in the default install--rather, a -q<time> is passed on the command line which tells exim how often to launch queue-runners. Make sure that the "queue_remote_domains" option is not set in your exim.conf (also that the -odqr option is not passed on the cmd line). queue_remote_domains is used to reduce the number of connections to remote hosts but it is not really useful for workstations.
