That the delivery "=>" line is missing, is exactly the problem here.
All other valid attempts in and out have that delivery line, but this ->
failed <- message, does not have one. I have never seen this happen
in 15 years of exim services.
It's reliably happening if a specific server

manually copy and paste . I searched for error lines between <= and
completed, but there are none. The "=>" is not printed to the log at all
and there is no other error.

Standard logs are active, so we get "<=" "=>" "**" and Completed and
some internal warnings used for in-case-debugging of antispam problems.
The messages in question have normal entries in those Warnings we
additional create, so i left them out, as they are not relevant personal
informations.

Normally everything is logged, thats exactly the point.
NOW, AFTER i downgraded the crypto-policy of fedora back to F32, the
delivery of these message from the named server are processed and fully
logged again.
My guess is, we just found a bug in processing of the DH KEY TOO SMALL
error on incoming connections, openssl throws , where the error avoids
getting logged.
We are talking about a mailcluster with thousands of mailboxes, which
had no problems with >99% of all incoming/outgoing mails when the new
crypto-policy was active. That <1% of mailserver "seem" to have the same
dhe problem.
After i switched back to f32 policy and restarted exim, those remote
mailserver with the "DH key too small" error ( problem 2) did use DHE
ciphers . I'm pretty sure, the orginal problem is a config error either
in fedoras openssl default config ( never changed it manually ) or the
remote servers DHE exchange is misconfigured.
If someone knows how to tell openssl s_client to simulate or detect
this zero sized DH key, i can run tests on those servers to find out more.
