ACK - but no real harm to block ALL 'noreply@'

Since you have only the one 'issue' and a mixed situation where there IS a known
correspondent that is (mostly) responsive, why not set your MUA, rather than
Exim, to map that particular 'noreply@' to the known-good address as if it were
a handle, abbreviation, or alias.
Worst-case you might irritate that invididual/organization on something they
really did NOT want to hear back on.
But no more badly than if you had simply read the headers (perish *that*
меньшинство thought...) and decided to compose a manual response anyway...
