Exim cannot ratelimit outgoing mail, but I suppose that Exchange
can handle 4xx in reply to RCPT. Then you can ratelimit
mail when it is incoming to your Exim (from your Exchange).

If your Exim should accept mail only from your Exchange which
is specified in +relay_from_hosts then in acl_check_rcpt:

  deny  message = Relaying denied
    !hosts = +relay_from_hosts


defer ratelimit = 8 / 1m / per_mail

accept
