Microsoft guys are doing wrong thing. They should reject connections
for specific ip-address, or return 4xx in place of greeting message
and on MAIL, shuch errors could be treated as host-specific rejections.
If status-codes 4xx are emitted on RCPT stage, such rejections are
recipient-specific, so Exim could try other mails for the same MX.

This log fragment looks like response to DATA, with pipelining on.
It's a bad idea to put the ip-address rejection here.
Legal 4xx response to DATA may be caused by problems with disk space,
memory, system-wide filter (antivirus, ex) hangup on the receiver host.
All these conditions are not related to specific recipient.
So I think Exim havе better to treat 4xx on DATA as host-specific.
