Assuming your clients are using the submission port, 587, you could have
above that at the start of your HELO ACL:

accept condition = ${if eq{$received_port}{587} }

This, obviously, is a small risk in case one of your client machines
gets a trojan/worm/other malware which utilises the defined system MUA
in the background as a sending engine, but if you make your clients use
the submission port with authentication then you'd be following best
current practice *and* not then really care what HELO/EHLO the client
sends.
