I don't know much C so my tracing below may be not wrong, but
COMPLETELY wrong. :-/

In the backtrace above, I see that msg is NULL. It's a pointer passed to:

smtp_respond(uschar* code, int codelen, BOOL final, uschar *msg)

And line 2045 of smtp_in.c we have:
uschar *nl = Ustrchr(msg, '\n');

So the segfault presumably comes from attempting to append a char to
the contents of the msg pointer, but the pointer is NULL.

That is called by this:
        smtp_respond((fake_response == DEFER)? US"450" : US"550", 3, TRUE,
          fake_response_text);


fake_response_text is a pointer defined in globals.c, but it can be
overridden by you, the admin in your ACLs. In acl.c, we have:

        fake_response_text = expand_string(string_copyn(p+1, pp-p-1));


So now, we're back to your config file. Maybe somewhere you're doing
a control = fakereject/ but not putting any message after the slash?
We need to see your config file.

However, this could be a bug. A misconfiguration should not be able
to cause exim to segfault. It should either error on startup or be
silently bypassed.
