No, exim is behaving correctly for your configuration. You're testing
$rcpt_fail_count in your RCPT acl; the rcpt currently being processed
can't be counted as a failure, because it has not yet been rejected. So
while processing the fifth RCPT, $rcpt_fail_count will be 4, and the
fifth RCPT will trigger the drop even if it happens to be a good address
(for example, if it was addressed to +relay_to_domains).
