You may find it useful to tune your `log_selector` main configuration
setting:

http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-log_files.html#SECTlogselector

In particular:

log_selector = +smtp_connection +smtp_incomplete_transaction

The first one will show you connection opens and closes, so that you see
immediately when the connection is closed.

FWIW, I run with:

log_selector = +incoming_interface +pid +incoming_port \
                +smtp_connection +smtp_confirmation \
                +smtp_protocol_error +smtp_syntax_error \
                +smtp_incomplete_transaction +smtp_no_mail \
                +tls_cipher +tls_peerdn +tls_certificate_verified +tls_sni \
                +queue_time +queue_time_overall +deliver_time \
                +received_recipients +sender_on_delivery +return_path_on_delivery \
                +all_parents
