The ACL (here acl_smtp_data) work for incoming messages. That is, they
have to "enter" the Exim spool via Exim (normally via networked SMTP, but
SMTP via STDIN/STDOUT is possible too, or via piping into
/usr/sbin/sendmail)

If you move the files to the spool directory by your own means,
the ACL are not consulted in any way.

How do you pass the Mails into Exim on Cpanel servers, and how do you do
it on CentOS?

I'm not sure, there is the comment about "outgoing" … ACL generally do
not work for outgoing, as I stated above. BUT, there is one exception:
the event interface. And I believe, you can call a custom ACL through
the event interface. Maybe the configured it in Cpanel. Or they did some
other addtion to Exim I'm not aware of.
