It might be better to accept only, say, 1% of authentication attempts. That would prevent the hacker from trivially detecting your trap (by authenticating to the same account with two different passwords). You could use the rate limit facility to increase the likelihood of success. Exim doesn't have, as far as I know, a random number generator, but you could perhaps use a hash of the username/password/date string.
