I was already prompted: it requires EHLO to accept `body=8bitmime'.
Obviously, sendmail didn't said EHLO. I think reason is that this Exim relay
was among sendmail relays for a relay name with multiple IN A. Sendmail
caches remote relay ESMTP capabilities in MCI database with cache key - not
IP address, but host name, so it possibly used wrong cached data.
Conclusion: don't mix different MTA on same relay name, and when switching MTAs,
wait more than 1 hour between shutting down old one and starting new one.
