Hello. Thanks for the answer and qualifying questions.
I am trying to answer.
> Were the extra 20 recipients accepted by exim?

Don't know. There is no extra 20 recipients in main.log for this queue.
Only 100. But when one of these 100 recipient views this mail he sees
all 120 recipients in To field.

Is log_selector = +all enough or does way exist to add more logging?

This mail is supplied by external automated mail client (1C).

After last 100th mail copy that successfully queued for delivery with

Fifty-fifty. There may be 1 address - 1 domain or 10 addresses - 1 domain.

In smtp transport I already added
mac_rcpt = 150.
