Yes, based on http://lucamattarozzi.blogspot.com/2014/09/exim-limitare-autenticazioni-fallite.html


In the connect ACL:

    deny    message = Too many unsuccessfull auth attempts.
            ratelimit = 10/2h / badauth:$authenticated_fail_id / readonly


    accept


And in the QUIT *and* NOTQUIT ACLs:

    warn    condition = $authentication_failed
            ratelimit = 10/2h / badauth:$authenticated_fail_id / strict


    accept


Completly untested, because when implementing it, I ran into another
issue.

    Best regards from Dresden/Germany
