"connect time" should be better written as "smtp time".
You're right, the acl_smtp_connect is used at the "connect phase" of the
(not yet) SMTP connection, that is, when the TCP connection is
establishd. At this stage, clearly nothing is known about the recipient.

The acl_smtp_rcpt is the first stage where the recipient is known and
can be checked. But you can delay this check even to the acl_smtp_data
or later, if that makes sense … (mostly it doesn't).

Just think of the acl_smtp_* as hooks that are used at their individual
phase of the SMTP connection.
