This is Exim receiving the message.

This is Exim reporting that it tried to hand the message off to Dovecot,
using the `dovecot_lmtp` transport, but that the connection got closed
on Exim.
So Dovecot is failing and Exim is just the messenger in the middle.
I highly doubt that _all_ your messages had lines great than 998
characters, those are rare; I think that LMTP handoff problem is likely
to be a/the real problem here, the other message was just noticeable
because Exim was able to report more clearly what has happening in that
scenario.
