[tor-relays] be in time or not to be in time ?

I used to receive this message regularly from time to time on a KVM
virtual machine running Debian 7 Wheezy (Tor exit relay).

NTP process was working fine, no errors. I did manually:
# service ntp stop
# ntpdate 0.rhel.pool.ntp.org
# service ntp start

Are you using a virtual machine as well? If yes, the answer might be
that the host is overwriting your guest (vm) clock. You can either
disable hwclock, either disable ntp on guest (vm) operating system and
rely on the clock of your host server.
