Thank you for your answer although it did not comfort me much. This journal like any other I've been in contact with demands a list of a referees (with theirs emails and field of a research) for the review. So this line "we have exhausted our reviewer pool" is a nonsense. They could write back to me that they contacted the suggested reviewers and none of them agreed to review my paper and if I want I could send another list of the reviewers or withdraw my paper and send it to another journal. I think this would be more appropriate and professional from the journal.
