Yes. That's what I meant in (1) above. The ACLs for MAIL, RCPT, and DATA
are run for every SMTP connection, local or remote. By "SMTP" I mean
interactive SMTP, with command-response handling. I do not include
BSMTP. That isn't SMTP - it is just a convenient use of SMTP syntax to
pass an envelope non-interactively.

hosts = : matches only when the SMTP input is not a TCP/IP connection,
that is, it matches only when there is no remote IP address.

That isn't strictly true. If you run something like

exim -bs -oMa 1.2.3.4

(as a trusted user), then the the host IP address is set to 1.2.3.4 and
hosts=: won't match. But that is not the usual situation.
