I'm somewhat surprised if Exim doesn't already treat LF in SMTP as
equivalent to CRLF, but perhaps that's the case.

FWIW, Postfix also tolerates LF-terminated lines in SMTP, they're
converted to CRLF if/when the message is relayed onward via SMTP. So
tolerating them in Exim would not be unprecedented.
