Yes, it's kind of like how Exim relays 8BITMIME without any transformation.

There is no way to transform a non-ASCII local part, so the simplest action
(other than rejecting) is to attempt to deliver it and let the remote server
reject it if it's unable to handle it.

I don't see a test case for "given a non-ASCII local part when SMTPUTF8 not
advertised".
