It is the *client*, not the server, that decides to use esmtp (by
sending EHLO instead of HELO). You could perhaps fudge up something by
defining an ACL for acl_smtp_helo. Unfortunately, you can't discover
whether the client sent EHLO or HELO, but what you can do is to reject
the first one it sends (assumed to be EHLO) and accept the second
(assumed to be HELO). Use one of the acl_cx variables to do this.

It's a hack, but it might work.
