I've been watching from the grandstand. Sooner or later, I'll have to
implement whatever works.

Probably #2, if experience shows it works for Postfix without breaking some
other server's behavior.
A contributed program which scans the Exim logs looking for servers which
need to be added to hosts_nopass_tls would be nice, if adding the RSET
doesn't work. I wouldn't want Philip's time spent on such a thing (I
suspect I'm in agreement with Philip on that. ;-)).
