You can get what you want by setting the global option
smtp_return_error_details, but that has side effects that may be undesired
(see chapter 14 of the spec). Some explanation can be found on lines 2123ff
of smtp_in.c; I think the rationale is that the code can't tell a forced
defer (like the one you have set up) from a defer caused by an error. Or
rather, it can in some cases, such as when you explicitly defer from the ACL
itself using the "defer" verb. The *permanent* failures that are handled by
that code are however always forced; therefore the message supplied
with :fail: is always used.

I think this could be improved. Please file a bug report.
