First - shouldn't be the test for the message size done befor the spam
condition? If I understand well, the conditions are evaluated in order,
thus it is scanned always, but the result is used only for messages
<10k. (BTW, 10k seems to be quite small, the headers count here too.,
may be you should use the $message_body_size, if it is available in the
data acl.)

For non-SMTP the data acl is not used.
The following outline is roughly based on the rules we use.
It is something that *could* work, but it is not tested.
I like to set the reject threshold in Exim, not in SA.

    accept  senders = localhost
    accept  authenticated = *
    accept  condition = ${if >={$message_size}{10k}}
            add_header = X-Spam-Comment: not scanned


    deny    spam = nobody:true
            condition = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{120}}


    accept  add_header = X-Spam-…\n\
            …


It get's a little bit more complicated if you want to scan for viruses
too, but want the virus scan without exceptions. Then some "sub-acl"
might help you to keep the structure clean.


    is_trusted:
        accept  senders = localhost
        accept  senders = +relay_from_hosts
        accept  authenticated = *
        deny


    acl_check_data:


        …
        accept  acl = is_trusted
        …
