--- Comment #1 from Jeremy Harris <jgh146exb@???> ---
You didn't show the actual log line (only fail2ban's take on it), but
your problem seems to be associated with the "display name" portion of a From:
header line, something that Exim does not log by default. You could consider
removing the part of your config that is doing so.

However, the underlying issue is that Exim's log are not intended or deigned
for
machine-consumption ("log-scraping") - which is what fail2ban is presumably
doing,
since it cannot handle this log line.

You could
- cease using a log-scraper
- wait for maching-readable (eg. bug 2610) logging
- configure Exim to trigger whatever fail2ban does directly, to cut out the
log-writing and log-scraping stages
