I added "-d" to the exim command. When the telnet host sees:

mail from:<chris@???>
250 OK
rcpt to:<chris@???>
551 User not local; please try <forward-path>
Connection closed by foreign host.

the debug output shows:

26896 SMTP<< mail from:<chris@???>
26896 SMTP>> 250 OK
26896 SMTP<< rcpt to:<chris@???>
26896 using ACL "acl_check_rcpt"
... many lines until...
26896 ----------- end verify ------------
26896 accept: condition test succeeded
26896 SMTP>> 250 Accepted
26896 SMTP>> 421 aurora.northfolk.ca lost input connection
26896 LOG: lost_incoming_connection MAIN
26896 unexpected disconnection while reading SMTP command from
adsl-67-115-158-162.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net (sales) [67.115.158.162]
26896 search_tidyup called
26894 child 26896 ended: status=0x100
26894 0 SMTP accept processes now running

It looks to me like exim thinks the the host running telnet has
terminated the connection, but from the other side it looks like exim is
rejecting.

While I was writing this mail, the debug output was continuing run and I
happened to receive a spam which produced the following entry:

26907 SMTP>> 550 Rejected. Your message appears to be spam.

So, in the original case I should expect to see something like

##### SMTP>> 551 User not local; please try <forward-path>

But I don't see that, so where does that message come from?

Good day, eh.
