Hmmm... while chronium.medbanner.com does not accept percent hacks, it
seems it passed the mail to cobalt.physemp.com which probably did the
transformation (either it does it for all, or because the originating host
(chronium.medbanner.com) is trusted for this.

You can either fix cobalt.physemp.com or set percent hack on
chromium.medbanner.com so that Exim treat this as a relay attempt and
reject it.
