This is no different from quota without a threshold. Users do not get
warned about messages that would exceed their quota and that didn't get
delivered. A threshold message says "look out, your mailbox is filling
up". There is no message for "a message that is too big was bounced".
After all, there is a big danger here: if the mailbox is absolutely
full, no message will fit, and all the warnings will be bounced too...

If by "handle" you mean "send a warning when a message that doesn't fit
fails to be delivered" then then answer is "no, not directly in Exim".
You can always write applicatons that scan the log files and do stuff,
of course.
