The behaviour of Exim is explicitly allowed by the relevant RFC.

It's not _optimal_ for Exim to send EHLO twice. So what? It's allowed
and the remote side is broken.

If you start down the route of "X, Y and Z are broken and don't follow
the RFCs, therefore your product Foo is broken for doing something
unusual but allowable" then heck, let's packet-filter all IP fragments.
And ICMP.
