What do you think about this one:
if [ -x /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb ]; then
  cd /var/spool/exim4/db || exit 1
  find /var/spool/exim4/db -maxdepth 1 -name '*.lockfile' \
       -or -type f -printf '%f\n' | \
  while read file ; do
        exim_tidydb_as_mail /var/spool/exim4 "$file" >/dev/null
  done
fi

It is not perfect (like find ... -exec or find -print0 | xargs -0) but
afaict that is not necessary.
