it is not relevant as far as I can see, but, yes, thank you!, I think
I know why it happened.... (now fixed).

The problem might be the / in 152/29.160.221.217.in-addr.arpa.
Look at this (session from the relevant IP to the server, merged
named queries and exim log, acl below), the query is simply not
performed:
