To clear the retry queue, do

  rm /path/to/mailman/qfiles/retry/*

To prevent messages from being queued for retry in the first place you
could figure out why Exim is returning a temporary failure status (4xx
or 552) for some or all recipients, and make it return a permanent
failure instead.

To make Mailman retry only once instead of for the default 5 days, set

DELIVERY_RETRY_PERIOD = 0

in mm_cfg.py.
