As I understand it, your problem is not "letting through empty
senders bounce messages". The problem is more general: you are
accepting mail for non-existant users in your local domain, which
then can't be delivered.
As I said, the stanza of your RCPT ACL that you originally posted
*should* reject messages for unknown local users. I gave two reasons
why it may not be doing so.
| acl_check_rcpt:
|
| accept hosts = 127.0.0.1
| endpass
| message = unknown user
| verify = recipient
This is your only accept above:
|...
| drop message = Recipient unknown
| !verify = recipient
| delay = ${eval: ($rcpt_fail_count + 1) * 1}m
So the problem is not in your RCPT ACL. Look to your routers. For
some reason the non-existant local recipient is passing verification,
which means you have a router that accepts it. Run a test like
"exim -d -bv debian@???" to see which router is accepting the
address.
