According to 6.12, "String Values", quoted strings can still use line

Not sure why, seems like it should have. But the acl option value is
expanded, so you didn't need the enclosing quotes to get \n processed
(per section 11.2, "Character escape sequences in expanded strings").
So maybe try it without them, e.g.:

acl_smtp_rcpt = verb condition1\n\tcondition2
