As i have separate MSA, would not be more easy to setup
that timeout right in exim? Will not this have the same effect?...

As there is AuthPolicy daemon in action, filling FW is done
by fail2ban parsing its logs. That allow me distinguish
auth rejection reason in more precise way than simple
success/fail in exim, beside the fact, that fail2ban
provides repeat counting, ban persistance -- and unban
of course (as many of them seems to be end users, from
time to time cleaned infection and/or changed IP).
