in the description of "message =".
"If log_message is not present and there is no underlying error message
(for example, from the failure of address verification), but message is
present, the message text is used for logging rejections. However, if any
text for logging contains newlines, only the first line is logged. In the
absence of both log_message and message, a default built-in message is
used for logging rejections."
I suggest using log_message with a simpler one-line message for the log
message. It only needs to be brief, since you know what is generating it,
and it doesn't need to explain itself, just contain the relevant detail.
So you might have:
deny condition = ${if eq{$acl_c_reject}{yes}}
message = Your message has been rejected\nThe reason is $acl_c_reject_reason
log_message = Rejected: $acl_c_reject_reason
