what has smtp_banner got to do with the HELO/EHLO string?

This is probably more relevant:

helo_data                       Type: string*      Default: $primary_hostname


     The value of this option is expanded, and used as the argument for the
     EHLO or HELO command that starts the outgoing SMTP session.


and I believe it could be set in the smtp transport according to the
interface you use.
