As documented:

log_message = <text>

   This modifier sets up a message which is used as part of the log message if
   the ACL denies access because of a subsequent condition in the current
                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   statement.


Actually, I already have a note to expand the explanation a little bit,
because it isn't strictly right.

As soon as Exim knows to accept or deny, it stops processing an ACL.
For a deny result, the most recent message and log_message are used. I'm
actually a bit surprised at your first example, because after matching a
bad local part, it should be looking further down the ACL for any
additional conditions, so it should see your messages and use them.

I will check up on all this.
