The file doc/Exim4.upgrade contains this:

. The default for message_size_limit is now 50M as a guard against DoS
attacks.

So the change happened for Exim 4. The Exim 4 book is correct (page
311). (Note that the reference on page 167 is to the transport option of
the same name, not the global option.)
