This is not a problem for me. I can grep.

Ok, it looks promising. I can do something like this:
warn log_message = [$sender_host_address]:$sender_host_port SMTP>> $smtp_command
at the beginning of interesting ACLs, but is there general method to log
server replies in this way?

Of course, so if it is not difficult to understand, it all the more
should be included in server log files.

IMHO it depends on complexity of ACL rules. Really, sometimes it's
easier to look at SMTP dialog to see the situation.
