Where does the "X-Spam" status header you mention get generated? It
isn't in your ACL:

You're not rejecting message, since you only have a "warn" there. As far
as I can see, all messages will be passed to SpamAssassin with that ACL
(there's no condition to be satisfied) so all messages should be
checked.

I believe, however, that you should have multiple "add_header" lines
(one for each one) rather than trying to escape them in that way.

Have you restarted Exim since adding this config?
