I can imagine creating a custom ACL Deny stanza
that implements this while whitelisting some sources,
but is there a trivial way to do this in exim?

E.g., an exception to the

        helo_allow_chars       = _


Rather than something starting with

deny   !hosts = ALLOW_BAD_CHAR_HOSTS
        etc.


Actually, even if there isn't such an exception
list, it might make sense to do it the other way
around just to get rid of those such as
"HELO Bill_Gates" and such.

deny condition = ${if match{$sender_helo_name}\
                       {DENY_UNDERSCORE_HOSTS}}
           etc
