How could it croak at the beginning? It doesn't know at that stage if a
relay attempt is going to be made or not.

It does not check for relaying permission until the caller actually
attempts to relay. Why waste time on a check that may not be needed?
You must proceed to give a MAIL and a RCPT command to force a relay
check.
