Above you've set use_bsmtp but without setting batch_max which defaults to 1
(no batching).

Item 10 in section 47 of the manual has an example of using BSMTP:
   http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-smtp_processing.html

And batch_max is described in section 25:
   http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-address_batching_in_local_transports.html

If you look at the example in item 10 of section 47 of the manual it describes
limiting BSMTP use to specific domains via the router.  I'm guessing that this
is what you might end up needing to do.  [I'm not using BSMTP, so I'm not very
familiar with this option.]
