I was able to replicate the problem on Windows 7:
The delivery process crashes because it can't load winmm.dll
16:06:33 3572 writing data block fd=6 size=1 timeout=0
6 [main] exim 3572 C:\Program Files\cygwin\bin\exim-4.76-1.exe: ***
fatal error - unable to load C:\Windows\system32\winmm.dll, Win32 error 1114
16:06:33 5620 LOG: MAIN PANIC
16:06:33 5620 failed to read delivery status for phumblet@phumblet-lap01w
from delivery subprocess
So it's a Cygwin issue... I think it has been discussed before but I am not
sure if there is a solution.
