I'm replying here, until I'm sure that we're talking about a bug :)

I believe, it is clearly documented:
From the spec.txt:

log_message = <text>

    This modifier sets up a message that is used as part of the log message if
    the ACL denies access or a warn statement's conditions are true. For
    example:



How do you know, that the "ratelimit" fired (returned TRUE, because it was hit?)
The output from your log doesn't indicate it:

2019-02-15 16:09:49.000 [26467] "LOGWRITE: 2019-02-15 16:09:49.000 Connection Ratelimit - (mztyg.com) [49.86.182.22]:53541 because of failed SMTP AUTH without QUIT: connection-lost (/ max:)

I'd have expected something like:

LOG: H=(ME) [1.1.1.1] Warning: non-polite client: connection-lost [1.7/1m max:1]
