It doesn't for me:

abc_def

Aha! You must be running an old version of Exim. This change was made
for release 3.14 (Apr 12 2000):
6. Changed ${quote_mysql: so that it no longer quotes % and _ because these
must be quoted only when they are part of a pattern, *and not otherwise*. If
they are quoted in error, it doesn't work.
MySQL seems to be very picky about quoting. PgSQL is much better: you
can quote any character you like.
