Found it. So it *is* the expected behaviour.

    48.2 Errors in outgoing SMTP
    ----------------------------
    ...
    Host errors


        A host error is not associated with a particular message or with a
        particular recipient of a message. The host errors are:


        + Connection refused or timed out,
        + Any error response code on connection,
        + Any error response code to EHLO or HELO,
        + Loss of connection at any time, except after ".",
        + I/O errors at any time,
        + Timeouts during the session, other than in response to MAIL, RCPT or
            the "." at the end of the data.


    *   For a host error, a permanent error response on connection, or in response
    *   to EHLO, causes all addresses routed to the host to be failed. Any other
        host error causes all addresses to be deferred, and retry data to be
        created for the host. It is not tried again, for any message, until its
        retry time arrives. If the current set of addresses are not all delivered
        in this run (to some alternative host), the message is added to the list of
        those waiting for this host, so if it is still undelivered when a
        subsequent successful delivery is made to the host, it will be sent down
        the same SMTP connection.



Thank you for paying attention :)
