First, make it look a bit more readable

deny senders = mysql;select sender from deny_sender where \
                      '${quote_mysql:$sender_address}' rlike sender
      message = We don't want mail from $sender_address, \
                your in our database.


Always prefer this type of lookup, if you're not interested in the
result, but just the existence of an entry.

Have you tried to do this lookup in mysql directly? What happens if you
send the same query to mysql via the commandline tool?

Run exim with exim -bh 1.2.3.4 -d
Now fake a SMTP-session
EHLO example.com
MAIL FROM: <email@???>
RCPT TO: <me@???>

Now check the output, It should give you some valueable information.

You should accept mails to postmaster without checks for senders or hosts.

Check your database, I bet you have a matching entry inside of it.
