I've found AuthBL from Spamhaus and Abusix to be very useful. Anything
blocked attempts from anything listed there is getting added to host's
firewall within 5 mins (to avoid logspam):

acl_check_auth:
    deny
       !encrypted = *
        message = Server policy requires encrypted connection


    accept
        hosts = +relay_hosts : +permit_hosts


    deny
        message = Sender host blocked (source: DNS)
        log_message = Sender host blocked (source: AuthBL)
        dnslists = +exclude_unknown : XYZ.authbl.dq.spamhaus.net
        delay = 60s


    deny
        message = Sender host blocked (source: DNS)
        log_message = Sender host blocked (source: Abusix)
        dnslists = +exclude_unknown : XYZ.authbl.mail.abusix.zone
        delay = 60s


    accept

I tend to make my MUAs say "EHLO there" or "EHLO world" :)
