The former is just a user-defined name (you could call it "banana" for
all that matters :), and the latter is a static handler you can assign
the name to. So when you say:

acl_smtp_mime = banana

Then exim will look for a "banana:" part in the ACL section to run
acl_smtp_mime with.

Inside the MIME ACL (acl_smtp_mime).
