It's the "lmtp_ignore_quota" private option of exim's lmtp
transport.  Something like the second transport of:

begin transports

# Transport to deliver mail to the Cyrus IMAP server.  We're
# going to shovel this down the loopback address using the ltmp
# protocol.
cyrus_ltmp:
  driver = smtp
  protocol = lmtp
  hosts = LOOPBACK
  hosts_override = true
  allow_localhost = true

# Similar transport to the above.  But quota restrictions should
# be ignored.  Use under circumstances when you want to force the
# message through.
cyrus_ltmp_ignore_quota:
  driver = smtp
  protocol = lmtp
  hosts = LOOPBACK
  lmtp_ignore_quota = true
  hosts_override = true
  allow_localhost = true

...

should (ie I haven't really tested this) do the job.
