Exim provides a toolkit; it's up to you to write your config to
support your needs. Builtin stuff is more at the level of
violations of documented SMTP protocol.

Ideas such as

- delay (teergrube) on auth-fail detect
- limit the number of auth tries per conn
- limit the number of auth fails per IP (and ban)
- spot the attempt to auth as root (and ban)
- spot and deny the common botnet HELO names
- rDNS verify
- HELO verify

could be of interest.
