1. If you set logging to a file, does Exim correctly write these long lines
there?
2. As far as I can see from the code, Exim should just write the text to
syslog. To debug this further, additional debugging code will have to be
added to Exim to check that statement.
3. Exim itself has a maximum length of log line, but it defaults to 8192.
