I just realized that this needs another condition added:
authenticated = *

People using SMTP Auth on their laptops from mobile locations
frequently get non-FQDN hostnames assigned. It's ok to let those go

That's harsh. Can you provide some logs that illustrate this? I
don't see the type of abuse by MS Exchange Servers that you claim to
