If you did deny in helos, you'd have to white list. If you check for bad
EHLOs else where, you can base it on authentication.

Exim IIRC, was not designed to give custom 2xx messages, nor was it designed
to give custom error codes. Technically, a rejection in HELO shouldn't be a
554 (or whatever itwas exim gives), but should be something like 503. (don't
quote me, I'm going off top of my head)
